Manu 8.43
न-उत्पादयेत्) स्वयं कार्यं राजा न-अप्य् अस्य पुरुषः । न च प्रापितम्) अन्येन ग्रसेद् अर्थं कथं चन ॥ [म्ग्रसेत)-अर्थं]
na-utpādayet) svayaṃ kāryaṃ rājā na-apy asya puruṣaḥ | na ca prāpitam) anyena grased arthaṃ kathaṃ cana || [M.graseta)-arthaṃ]
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Neither the king nor any servant of his shall because he is the lord of the earth/ as a distinct recognition of the principle that the ownership of all land is vested in the king.
