In the five continents, which begin with Plakṣadvīpa and end with Śākadvīpa, righteousness also must be known as arising from the divisions of the castes and the several stages of a brāhman’s life. The righteousness which is settled,[9] and springs from one’s natural disposition, and is exempt from the rules of harmlessness is well-known to be universal in these five continents.
