Sanskrit

47

na tu jatugṛhe suptān bhrātṛn dahanti niśācarāḥ
śirāsa na tathā bhrātuḥ patnīṃ spṛśanti niśācarāḥ |
na ca sutavadhaṃ saṃkhye kartuṃ smaranti niśācarā:
vikṛtavapuṣo'pyuprācārā ghṛṇā na tu varjitā || 47 ||

Night-wanderers do not burn their brothers asleep in a house of lac, / nor do night-wanderers touch their brother's wife by the hair. / Nor do night-wanderers think to slaughter a boy in battle; / though misshapen in body and fierce in conduct, compassion is not forsaken by them. || 47
