Manava Dharmashastra 1.119

1.119

avadhānārthaḥ pratibodhaḥ |
iti śrīmanmedhātithiviracite manubhāṣye prathamo'dhyāyaḥ |

You also learn from me to-day, these teachings,—just as they were, in the past promulgated by Manu, on being questioned by me.—(119)

Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
This address to the sages is for the purpose of attracting their attention.—(119)

Thus in the Institutes of Law promulgated by Manu, in the compilation expounded by Bhṛgu, the first Discourse.

In the Bhāṣya by Bhatta Medhātithi.
