Manu 9.321
अद्भ्यो ऽअग्निर् ब्रह्मतः क्षत्रम् अश्मनो लोहम् उत्थितम् । तेषां सर्वत्रगं तेजः स्वासु योनिषु शाम्यति) ॥
adbhyo 'agnir brahmataḥ kṣatram aśmano loham utthitam | teṣāṃ sarvatragaṃ tejaḥ svāsu yoniṣu śāmyati) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Fire sprang from water, Kshatriyas from Brahma;^as, iron from stone; the all-penetrating force of those (three) has no effect on that whence they were produced.
