Manu 6.66
दूषितो ऽअपि चरेद् धर्मं यत्र तत्र-आश्रमे रतः । [म्भूषितो ऽअपि ] समः सर्वेषु भूतेषु न लिङ्गं धर्मकारणम् ॥
dūṣito 'api cared dharmaṃ yatra tatra-āśrame rataḥ | [M.bhūṣito 'api ] samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu na liṅgaṃ dharmakāraṇam ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
To whatever order he may be attached, let him, though blemished (by a want of the external marks), fulfil his duty, equal-minded towards all creatures; (for) the external mark (of the order) is not the cause of (the acquisition of) merit.
