Manu 8.381
न ब्राह्मणवधाद् भूयान् अधर्मो विद्यते) भुवि । तस्माद् अस्य वधं राजा मनसा-अपि न चिन्तयेत्) ॥
na brāhmaṇavadhād bhūyān adharmo vidyate) bhuvi | tasmād asya vadhaṃ rājā manasā-api na cintayet) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
No greater crime is known on earth than slaying a Brāhmaṇa; a king, therefore, must not even conceive in his mind the thought of killing a Brāhmaṇa.
