Manu-Smrti 6.45

Manu 6.45

न-अभिनन्देत मरणं न-अभिनन्देत जीवितम् । कालम् एव प्रतीक्षेत निर्वेशं भृतको यथा ॥

na-abhinandeta maraṇaṃ na-abhinandeta jīvitam | kālam eva pratīkṣeta nirveśaṃ bhṛtako yathā ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Let him not desire to die, let him not desire to live; let him wait for (his appointed) time, as a servant (waits) for the payment of his wages.

Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
