Sanskrit Original
अणीमाण्डव्य उवाच अल्पेऽपराधेऽपि महान् मम दण्डस्त्वया कृतः। शूद्रयोनावतो धर्म मानुषः सम्भविष्यसि। मर्यादां स्थापयाम्यद्य लोके धर्मफलोदयाम्॥ आ चतुर्दशकाद् वर्षान्न भविष्यति पातकम्। परतः कुर्वतामेवं दोष एव भविष्यति॥

Animandavya said : You have inflicted upon me a great punishment for a little fault. Therefore o Dharma, you will be born as a man in the womb of a Shudra woman. I establish this rule today on earth in respect of the consequences of one's act that no sin will be committed in any act done by a man below the age of fourteen years. When committed only above that age, it will be sin.”
