Manu 2.156
न तेन वृद्धो भवति) येनास्य पलितं शिरः । यो वै युवा-अप्य् अधीयानस्) तं देवाः स्थविरं विदुः) ॥
na tena vṛddho bhavati) yenāsya palitaṃ śiraḥ | yo vai yuvā-apy adhīyānas) taṃ devāḥ sthaviraṃ viduḥ) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A man is not therefore (considered) venerable because his head is gray; him who, though young, has learned the Veda, the gods consider to be venerable.
