Manu 8.350

गुरुं वा बालवृद्धौ वा ब्राह्मणं वा बहुश्रुतम् । आततायिनम् आयान्तं हन्याद्) एव-अविचारयन् ॥

guruṃ vā bāla.vṛddhau vā brāhmaṇaṃ vā bahu.śrutam | ātatāyinam āyāntaṃ hanyād) eva-a.vicārayan ||

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

One may slay without hesitation an assassin who approaches (with murderous intent), whether (he be one's) teacher, a child or an aged man, or a Brāhmaṇa deeply versed in the Vedas.

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