Manu 2.12
वेदः स्मृतिः सदाचारः स्वस्य च प्रियम् आत्मनः । एतच् चतुर्विधं प्राहुः साक्षाद् धर्मस्य लक्षणम् ॥
vedaḥ smṛtiḥ sadācāraḥ svasya ca priyam ātmanaḥ | etac caturvidhaṃ prāhuḥ sākṣād dharmasya lakṣaṇam ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
The Veda, the sacred tradition, the customs of virtuous men, and one's own pleasure, they declare to be visibly the fourfold means of denning the sacred law.
