In the state of nature...all men are born equal, but they cannot continue in this equality. Society makes them lose it, and they recover it only by the protection of the law.

    प्रकृति की स्थिति में ... सभी पुरुष समान पैदा होते हैं, लेकिन वे इस समानता को जारी नहीं रख सकते। समाज उन्हें खो देता है, और वे इसे कानून की सुरक्षा से ही वसूलते हैं।

    ಪ್ರಕೃತಿಯ ಸ್ಥಿತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ... ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಪುರುಷರು ಸಮಾನವಾಗಿ ಜನಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ, ಆದರೆ ಅವರು ಈ ಸಮಾನತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮುಂದುವರಿಯಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ. ಸಮಾಜವು ಅದನ್ನು ಕಳೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅವರು ಅದನ್ನು ಕಾನೂನಿನ ರಕ್ಷಣೆಯಿಂದ ಮಾತ್ರ ಪಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾರೆ.
