yac ca teṣāṃ smṛtaṃ karma viprādīnāṃ tad ucyatām //
MAITREYA.--Thou hast briefly noticed, illustrious sage, the creation termed Arváksrotas, or that of mankind: now explain to me more fully how Brahmá accomplished it; how he created the four different castes; what duties he assigned to the Brahmans and the rest.
