Manu 2.172
न-अभिव्याहारयेद्) ब्रह्म स्वधानिनयनाद् ऋते । शूद्रेण हि समस् तावद् यावद् वेदे न जायते) ॥
na-abhivyāhārayed) brahma svadhāninayanād ṛte | śūdreṇa hi samas tāvad yāvad vede na jāyate) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
(He who has not been initiated) should not pronounce (any) Vedic text excepting (those required for) the performance of funeral rites, since he is on a level with a Śudra before his birth from the Veda.
