Śūdra (this is also an inaccurate Sanskrit transcription; it should properly be śunāra [śūdra]. This has multiple names; one meaning translates it as "various/mixed commoners", referring either to broadly tending the fields, sowing and rearing livestock, or manual crafts and diverse trades, or fishing and hunting, or hired manual labour. Among the four castes, this one ranks lowest).
