8.91

婆羅門(不正梵語也應云沒囉憾摩此云淨行或云梵行自相傳云我從梵王口生獨取梵名世業相傳習四圍陀論例多博智守志貞白其中聰明頴達者多為帝王之師)。

Brahmin (婆羅門: an imprecise Sanskrit form; it should be moluohanmo [brāhmaṇa], translated here as 'Pure Conduct' or 'Brahma Conduct'. They pass down the tradition among themselves, saying: 'We were born from the mouth of King Brahmā,' claiming exclusively the name of Brahmā. Generation after generation they pass down the study of the four Vedas; for the most part they possess broad wisdom and maintain their integrity in purity and whiteness. Those among them who are intelligent and preeminent mostly become teachers of emperors and kings).
