Quote which Sruti (Veda) says "Sruti is more important/takes precedence over Smriti".

To clarify, in case it wasn't already crystal clear - DO NOT quote Smriti

    I guess one response will be along lines of - 'Smriti came after Sruti, so how can Sruti mention it?'

    Shruti doesn't quote it because "Shruti" doesn't even know the existence of any of Medival Era Smritis. Instead of violent comments, evidence of Smritis in Shruti would be better to show.

    Did you even read the context ? Look at the meaning narrated in that particular context. What Yajna it is refering to. Why Manu is mentioned. : ) There are also verses saying Bramhin is Cow Sudra is Horse. It is Brahmanam so Symbolic not an independent book. @Carmensandiego

    @mar As quoted here, the Veda (Taittiriya samhita 2.2.10.2) says, “whatever Manu said is medicine”. So Manusmriti among Smritis has the highest authority by the Shruti itself. Other dharmashastras too derive their authority taking Manu as a base. So One will have to see what was actually said by Manu.
