Manu 8.300
पृष्ठतस् तु शरीरस्य न-उत्तमाङ्गे कथं चन । अतो ऽअन्यथा तु प्रहरन्) प्राप्तः स्याच्) चौरकिल्बिषम् ॥
pṛṣṭhatas tu śarīrasya na-uttamāṅge kathaṃ cana | ato 'anyathā tu praharan) prāptaḥ syāc) caurakilbiṣam ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
But on the back part of the body (only), never on a noble part; he who strikes them otherwise will incur the same guilt as a thief.
Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
