मनुस्तत्क्षांतवानस्या यमस्तस्या न चाक्षमत् । ताडनाय ततः कोपात्पादस्तेन समुद्यतः । तस्याः पुनः क्षांतमना न तु देहे न्यपातयत्
manustatkṣāṃtavānasyā yamastasyā na cākṣamat | tāḍanāya tataḥ kopātpādastena samudyataḥ | tasyāḥ punaḥ kṣāṃtamanā na tu dehe nyapātayat
Manu menahannya, tetapi Yama tidak mampu bersabar. Lalu kerana murka, dia mengangkat kaki untuk memukul; namun setelah menahan diri kembali, dia tidak menjatuhkannya ke atas tubuhnya.

None; the verse is narrative and ethical.
