Manu 12.31
वेदाभ्यासस् तपो ज्ञानं शौचम् इन्द्रियनिग्रहः । धर्मक्रिया-आत्मचिन्ता च सात्त्विकं गुणलक्षणम् ॥
vedābhyāsas tapo jñānaṃ śaucam indriyanigrahaḥ | dharmakriyā-ātmacintā ca sāttvikaṃ guṇalakṣaṇam ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
The study of the Vedas, austerity, (the pursuit of) knowledge, purity, control over the organs, the performance of meritorious acts and meditation on the Soul, (are) the marks of the quality of Goodness.
