Language: Sanskrit

142.51

tataḥ samuditā varṇās tretāyāṃ dharmaśālinaḥ
kriyāvantaḥ prajāvantaḥ samṛddhāḥ sukhinaśca vai //

The duty of Kṣatriyas is to perform sacrifices; that of the Vaiśyas is to perform haviryajña, the Śûdras to perform the sacrifice of service and the Brâhmanas to perform the sacrifice of Japam (repeating the mantra) and understanding their meanings. The people and the Varṇas in the Tretâ age thus performed their duties and prospered with children and wealth and were happy.—50-51.
