Manu 4.147
वेदम् एव-अभ्यसेन् नित्यं यथाकालम् अतन्द्रितः । [म्वेदम् एव जपेन्] तं ह्य् अस्य-आहुः) परं धर्मम् उपधर्मो ऽअन्य उच्यते) ॥
vedam eva-abhyasen nityaṃ yathākālam atandritaḥ | [M.vedam eva japen] taṃ hy asya-āhuḥ) paraṃ dharmam upadharmo 'anya ucyate) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Let him, without tiring, daily mutter the Veda at the proper time; for they declare that to be one's highest duty; (all) other (observances) are called secondary duties.
