Do.: brahma gyåna binu nåri nara kahahiÚ na dµusari båta,
kauR∂ lågi lobha basa karahiÚ bipra gura ghåta.99(A).
bådahiÚ sµudra dvijanha sana hama tumha te kachu ghå¢i,
jånai brahma so biprabara å° khi dekhåvahiÚ Œå¢i.99(B).
Men and women talk of nothing else than the Knowledge of Brahma; while in their
greed they would kill a Bråhmaƒa or, for the matter of that, even their own spiritual guide
for the sake of a single shell. ›µudras argue with the twice-born : ìAre we in anyway
inferior to you? A good Bråhmaƒa is he who knows the truth of Brahma !î and defiantly
glower at them. (99 A-B)

They alone who are covetous of antotherís wife and are clever at wiles and
steeped in delusion, malice and worldly attachment are enlightened men swearing by the
identity of the individual soul with Brahma. Such is the practice I have seen in every Kali
age. Doomed themselves, such people bring ruin even to those rare souls who tread the
path of virtue. They who find fault with the Vedas by dint of logic are condemned to each
hell for a whole Kalpa (cycle). People of the lowest grade in society such as oil-men,
potters, the outcaste (lit., those who cook and feed on the flesh of a dog), the Kiråtas
and Kolas and the distillers of spirituous liquors get their heads shaved and enter the
order of Sa≈nyåsa (renunciation) when their wife is no more in this world and they have
lost their household property. They allow themselves to be worshipped by the Bråhmaƒas
and bring ruin to themselves here as well as hereafter. As for the Bråhmaƒas, they are
unlettered, grasping, lascivious, reprobate and stupid and marry low-caste women of a
lewd character. ›µudras, on the other hand, practise Japa (the muttering of prayers) and
