Manu 9.74
विधाय) वृत्तिं भार्यायाः प्रवसेत्) कार्यवान् नरः । अवृत्तिकर्शिता हि स्त्री प्रदुष्येत्) स्थितिमत्य् अपि ॥
vidhāya) vṛttiṃ bhāryāyāḥ pravaset) kāryavān naraḥ | avṛttikarśitā hi strī praduṣyet) sthitimaty api ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A man who has business (abroad) may depart after securing a maintenance for his wife; for a wife, even though virtuous, may be corrupted if she be distressed by want of subsistence.
Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
