Manu 2.71
ब्रह्मारम्भे ऽअवसाने च पादौ ग्राह्यौ) गुरोः सदा । संहत्य) हस्ताव् अध्येयं) स हि ब्रह्माञ्जलिः स्मृतः ॥
brahmārambhe 'avasāne ca pādau grāhyau) guroḥ sadā | saṃhatya) hastāv adhyeyaṃ) sa hi brahmāñjaliḥ smṛtaḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
At the beginning and at the end of (a lesson in the) Veda he must always clasp both the feet of his teacher, (and) he must study, joining his hands; that is called the Brahma^ali (joining the palms for the sake of the Veda).
