Manu 1.93

उत्तमाङ्गौद्भवाज् ज्येष्ठ्याद् ब्रह्मणश् च-एव धारणात् । [म्ज्यैष्ठ्याद्] सर्वस्य-एव-अस्य सर्गस्य धर्मतो ब्राह्मणः प्रभुः ॥

uttamāṅga.udbhavāj jyeṣṭhyād brahmaṇaś ca-eva dhāraṇāt | [M.jyaiṣṭhyād] sarvasya-eva-asya sargasya dharmato brāhmaṇaḥ prabhuḥ ||

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

As the Brahmana sprang from (Brahman's) mouth, as he was the first-born, and as he possesses the Veda, he is by right the lord of this whole creation.

Translated by Georg Bühler
