Verse 7.172.23

सर्वात्मनि स्थिताः सत्ये याः कचन्ति सुसंविदः ।
ता एवाभ्यासरूढार्थाः सादृश्यात्स्मृतयः स्मृताः ॥ २३ ॥

sarvātmani sthitāḥ satye yāḥ kacanti susaṃvidaḥ |
tā evābhyāsarūḍhārthāḥ sādṛśyātsmṛtayaḥ smṛtāḥ || 23 ||

Again any prejudice which is rooted in the minds of men, and appears as right by long habit of thinking it as such; this also passes for memory also.
