5.41.6
brāhmīṃ hi yonimāpannaḥ suguhyamapi yo vadet |
na tena garhyo devānāṃ tasmādetadbravīmi te || 6 ||
"Vidura said, 'I am born in the Sudra order and, therefore, do not venture to say more than what I have already said. The understanding, however, of that Rishi leading a life of celibacy, is regarded by me to be infinite. He that is a Brahmana by birth, by discoursing on even the profoundest mysteries, never incureth the censure of the gods. It is for this alone that I do not discourse to thee, upon the subject.'
