Manu 9.317

अविद्वांश् च-एव विद्वांश् च ब्राह्मणो दैवतं महत् । प्रणीतश् च-अप्रणीतश् च यथा-अग्निर् दैवतं महत् ॥

a.vidvāṃś ca-eva vidvāṃś ca brāhmaṇo daivataṃ mahat | praṇītaś ca-a.praṇītaś ca yathā-agnir daivataṃ mahat ||

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

A Brāhmaṇa, be he ignorant or learned, is a great divinity, just as the fire, whether carried forth (for the performance of a burnt-oblation) or not carried forth, is a great divinity.

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