anabhyāsena vedānām ācārasya ca varjanāt
ālasyād annadoṣāc ca mṛtyur viprāñ jighāṃsati //

'Through neglect of the Veda-study, through deviation from the rule of conduct, through remissness (in the fulfilment of duties), and through faults (committed by eating forbidden) food, Death becomes eager to shorten the lives of Brahmanas.'

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
