Manu 1.31

लोकानां तु विवृद्धिअर्थं मुखबाहुऊरुपादतः । ब्राह्मणं क्षत्रियं वैश्यं शूद्रं च निरवर्तयत्) ॥

lokānāṃ tu vivṛddhi.arthaṃ mukha.bāhu.ūru.pādataḥ | brāhmaṇaṃ kṣatriyaṃ vaiśyaṃ śūdraṃ ca niravartayat) ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

But for the sake of the prosperity of the worlds he caused the Brahmana, the Kshatriya, the Vaisya, and the Sudra to proceed from his mouth, his arms, his thighs, and his feet.
