Manu 5.75
विगतं तु विदेशस्थं शृणुयाद् यो ह्य् अनिर्दशम् । यत्-शेषं दशरात्रस्य तावद् एव-अशुचिर् भवेत् ॥
vigataṃ tu videśasthaṃ śṛṇuyād yo hy a.nirdaśam | yat-śeṣaṃ daśarātrasya tāvad eva-aśucir bhavet ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
He who may hear that (a relative) residing in a distant country has died, before ten (days after his death have elapsed), shall be impure for the remainder of the period of ten (days and) nights only.
