स्वभावेन-एव यद् ब्रूयुस्) तद् ग्राह्यं) व्यावहारिकम् । अतो यद् अन्यद् विब्रूयुर्) धर्मार्थं तद् अपार्थकम् ॥

svabhāvena-eva yad brūyus) tad grāhyaṃ) vyāvahārikam | ato yad anyad vibrūyur) dharmārthaṃ tad apārthakam ||

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

What witnesses declare quite naturally, that must be received on trials; (depositions) differing from that, which they make improperly, are worthless for (the purposes of) justice.

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