Manu 2.154
न हायनैर् न पलितैर् न वित्तेन न बन्धुभिः । ऋषयश् चक्रिरे) धर्मं यो ऽअनूचानः स नो महान् ॥
na hāyanair na palitair na vittena na bandhubhiḥ | ṛṣayaś cakrire) dharmaṃ yo 'anūcānaḥ sa no mahān ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Neither through years, nor through white (hairs), nor through wealth, nor through (powerful) kinsmen (comes greatness). The sages have made this law, ' He who has learnt the Veda together with the Angas (AnMana) is (considered) great by us.'
