種德報言:「有。所以者何?何用生、誦為?若婆羅門顏貌端正,持戒具足,智慧通達;成此三者,所言真誠,無有虛妄,名婆羅門。」
Śroṇatāṇḍya replied, “He would. Why is that? What purpose does his birth and the Vedas serve? Suppose a priest is handsome looking, has perfected the observance of precepts, and is wise and insightful. Achieving these three qualities, he could be called a priest, speaking truthfully and not falsely.”
