Manu 9.18
न-अस्ति) स्त्रीणां क्रिया मन्त्रैर् इति धर्मे व्यवस्थितिः निरिन्द्रिया ह्य् अमन्त्राश् च स्त्रीभ्यो ऽअनृतम् इति स्थितिः ॥ [म्स्त्रियो]
na-asti) strīṇāṃ kriyā mantrair iti dharme vyavasthitiḥ nir.indriyā hy a.mantrāś ca strībhyo 'anṛtam iti sthitiḥ || [M.striyo]
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
For women no (sacramental) rite (is performed) with sacred texts, thus the law is settled; women (who are) destitute of strength and destitute of (the knowledge of) Vedic texts, (are as impure as) falsehood (itself), that is a fixed rule. m
