Manu-Smriti 4.56 On looking up this quote I see that my reference is marked Smriti not Samhita. Thus I stand to be corrected in the source. Smriti is however sastra. I also saw in a permaculture film that one old Indian lady from Ladahk, shown as the famous Ledahk video, was relating that in the past that is was a sin to pass any waste into water.
