注維摩詰經 2.89

2.89

肇曰：剎利，王種也，秦言田主。劫初人食地味，轉食自然粳米。後人情漸偽，各有封殖，遂立有德，處平分田。此王者之始也，故相承為名焉。其尊貴自在，多強暴決意，不能忍和也。

[Seng]zhao says: Kṣatriya is the royal caste; rendered in the language of Qin, it means 'lord of the fields.' At the beginning of the kalpa, humans ate the flavor of the earth, and later shifted to eating naturally grown nonglutinous rice. Afterward, human nature gradually became deceptive, each staking out and cultivating land for himself; thereupon, they established one of virtue to adjudicate and divide the fields fairly. This was the origin of kings, and hence it was handed down as their name. Being noble and self-willed, they are often violent and willful, unable to practice forbearance and harmony.
