tat.samuttho hi lokasya jāyate) varṇasaṃkaraḥ | yena mūlaharo 'adharmaḥ sarvanāśāya kalpate) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
For by (adultery) is caused a mixture of the I ' castes (vanza) among men; thence (follows) sin,, which cuts up even the roots and causes the destruction of everything.
