Manu 9.12
अरक्षिता गृहे रुद्धाः) पुरुषैर् आप्तकारिभिः । आत्मानम् आत्मना यास् तु रक्षेयुस्) ताः सुरक्षिताः ॥
a.rakṣitā gṛhe ruddhāḥ) puruṣair āptakāribhiḥ | ātmānam ātmanā yās tu rakṣeyus) tāḥ surakṣitāḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Women, confined in the house under trustworthy and obedient servants, are not (well) guarded; but those who of their own accord keep guard over themselves, are well guarded.
