Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
This verse introduces what is going to be described below. ‘Ten-fold’—That which has ten ‘folds’ or forms.

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

‘Be observed’—Always be performed.

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

Though all these have already been mentioned before, yet they are repeated here in order to indicate their great importance; and this repetition also lends support to the view that it is the combination of ‘Knowledge’ and ‘Action’ that accomplishes the hightest end of man—(91)
