Manu 10.3
वैशेष्यात् प्रकृतिश्रैष्ठ्यात्- नियमस्य च धारणात् । संस्कारस्य विशेषाच् च वर्णानां ब्राह्मणः प्रभुः ॥
vaiśeṣyāt prakṛtiśraiṣṭhyāt- niyamasya ca dhāraṇāt | saṃskārasya viśeṣāc ca varṇānāṃ brāhmaṇaḥ prabhuḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
On account of his pre-eminence, on account of the superiority of his origin, on account of his observance of (particular) restrictive rules, and on account of his particular sanctification the Brahma»a is the lord of (all) castes (varṇa).
