11.27.4

etad vai sarva-varṇānām āśramāṇāṃ ca sammatam /
śreyasām uttamaṃ manye strī-śūdrāṇāṃ ca māna-da //

3. & 4. What flowed from Thy lotus-like lips, what the worshipful Brahma taught to his sons, Bhrigu and others, what the worshipful Siva imparted to his consort, Parvati, that indeed is common for men of all the three Varnas and Asramas and I think it is the best course, even for women and Sudras, O Lord that protectest us.
