bāhanā eva pāpānāṃ brāhmaṇo ti pravuccati |
Uv33:8
na jaṭābhir na gotreṇa na jātyā brāhmaṇaḥ smṛtaḥ |
yas tu vāhayate pāpāny aṇusthūlāni sarvaśaḥ |
vāhitatvāt tu pāpānāṃ brāhmaṇo vai nirucyate ||

by warding off evils is one called a brahmin.
Uv 33.8
Not by matted locks, not by lineage, not by birth is one regarded as a brahmin;
but who wards off evils, small or great, in every way— / by having warded off evils is one indeed called a brahmin.
