26.56

佛言:「梵天得自在,三明婆羅門不得自在,不得自在、得自在不同趣,不同解脫,是故梵天、婆羅門不共同也。」

The Buddha said, “Brahmā has attained sovereignty, but the priests who possess the three Vedas haven’t attained sovereignty. They aren’t equally sovereign or not sovereign. They aren’t both sovereign and headed the same way. Therefore, Brahmā and the priests aren’t equals.”
