3.96

caṇḍālaḥ kim ayaṃ dvijātir athavā śūdro 'tha kiṃ tāpasaḥ
kiṃ vā tattva-viveka-peśala-matir yogīśvaraḥ ko 'pi kim |
ity utpanna-vikalpa-jalpa-mukharair ābhāṣyamāṇā janair
na kruddhāḥ pathi naiva tuṣṭa-manaso yānti svayaṃ yoginaḥ ||

'Is he an outcaste? Or a twice-born? Or a Śūdra? Or an ascetic?
Or perhaps a master among yogins whose intellect is skilled in discernment of the truth?'
Addressed thus by people noisy with doubts and chattering that arise,
neither angry nor pleased in mind, the yogins go their own way along the path.
