शूद्रं तु कारयेद्) दास्यं क्रीतम् अक्रीतम् एव वा । दास्याय-एव हि सृष्टो) ऽअसौ ब्राह्मणस्य स्वयंभुवा ॥
śūdraṃ tu kārayed) dāsyaṃ krītam akrītam eva vā | dāsyāya-eva hi sṛṣṭo) 'asau brāhmaṇasya svayaṃbhuvā ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
But a Śudra, whether bought or unbought, he may compel to do servile work; for he was created by the Self-existent (Svayambhu) to be the slave of a Brāhmaṇa.
