महाभारतः mahābhārataḥ - book-12, chapter-110, verse-12

श्रुतिधर्म इति ह्येके नेत्याहुरपरे जनाः ।
न तु तत्प्रत्यसूयामो न हि सर्वं विधीयते ॥१२॥

12. śrutidharma iti hyeke netyāhurapare janāḥ ,
na tu tatpratyasūyāmo na hi sarvaṁ vidhīyate.

12. śrutidharmaḥ iti hi eke na iti āhuḥ apare janāḥ
na tu tat pratyasūyāmaḥ na hi sarvam vidhīyate

12. eke hi śrutidharmaḥ iti (vadanti) apare janāḥ na iti āhuḥ
tu vayam tat na pratyasūyāmaḥ hi sarvam na vidhīyate

12. Indeed, some people say that natural law (dharma) is based on scripture (śruti), while others say it is not. However, we do not disapprove of that, for not everything is necessarily ordained by scripture.
