अनधीत्य द्विजो वेदान् अनुत्पाद्य तथा सुतान् । [म्तथा प्रजाम् ] अनिष्ट्वा च-एव यज्ञैश् च मोक्षम् इच्छन् व्रजत्य् अधः ॥
an.adhītya dvijo vedān an.utpādya tathā sutān | [M.tathā prajām ] an.iṣṭvā ca-eva yajñaiś ca mokṣam icchan vrajaty adhaḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A twice-born man who seeks final liberation, without having studied the Vedas, without having begotten sons, and without having offered sacrifices, sinks downwards.
Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
