2.6
svadāso nāpito gopaḥ kumbhakāraḥ kṛṣīvalaḥ | brāhmaṇair api bhojyānnāḥ pañcaite śūdrayonayaḥ
“Revered sir, how indeed may Brahmins, Kṣatriyas, / Vaiśyas, and Śūdras in order attain purification when carried off by Mlecchas?
One's own slave, the barber, the cowherd, the potter and the ploughman: these five of Śūdra birth are men whose food even Brahmins may eat.
