Verse 12.126

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation by Ganganath Jha:

इत्येतन् मानवं शास्त्रं भृगुप्रोक्तं पठन् द्विजः ।
भवत्याचारवान्नित्यं यथेष्टां प्राप्नुयाद् गतिम् ॥ १२६ ॥

ityetan mānavaṃ śāstraṃ bhṛguproktaṃ paṭhan dvijaḥ |
bhavatyācāravānnityaṃ yatheṣṭāṃ prāpnuyād gatim || 126 ||

The twice-born man who reads these Ordinances of Manu, shall be ever equipped with virtue and shall attain whatever state he may desire.—(126)

 

Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):

‘Iti’—indicates the end of the Institutes.

‘He who reads, shall he virtuous.’ Some people explain ‘ācāra,’ ‘virtue,’ as virtuous conduct, in accordance with the ordinances that have been read.

And if he is so, ‘he shall attain whatever state he way desire.’—126

This is the end of the Ordinances of Manu as declared by Bhṛgu.

Thus ends the Manubhāṣya of Medhātithi.
