Manu 8.103
तद् वदन् धर्मतो ऽअर्थेषु जानन्न्) अप्य् अन्य्था नरः । न स्वर्गाच् च्यवते) लोकाद् दैवीं वाचं वदन्ति) ताम् ॥
tad vadan dharmato 'artheṣu jānann) apy anythā naraḥ | na svargāc cyavate) lokād daivīṃ vācaṃ vadanti) tām ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
In (some) cases a man who, though knowing (the facts to be) different, gives such (false evidence) from a pious motive, does not lose heaven; such (evidence) they call the speech of the gods.
Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
