sūta uvāca -
etasminnantare tatra brāhmaṇo vedapāragaḥ |
brāhmaṇairbahubhiḥ sārdhaṃ niryayau svagṛhād bahiḥ ||
Sûta said:-- O Risis! At this time, a Brâhmin, skilled in the Vedas, with many other Brâhmins, started out of his house, at that very place. The queen, then seeing the Brâhmin ascetic close by, addressed the King in words reasonable and in accordance with the Dharma, O Lord! A Brâhmin is considered the father of the other three Varnas (i.e., Ksattriyas, Vais’yas, and S’ûdras) and a son can certainly take the father’s things; so it is my intention that you beg your wealth from this Brâhmin.
