ṛtāmṛtābhyāṃ jīvet tu mṛtena pramṛtena vā
satyānṛtābhyām api vā na śvavṛttyā kadā cana //

He may subsist by Rita (truth), and Amrita (ambrosia), or by Mrita (death) and by Pramrita (what causes many deaths); or even by (the mode) called Satyanrita (a mixture of truth and falsehood), but never by Svavritti (a dog's mode of life).

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
