ucyatebrāhmaṇatvaṃ na śāstreṇa na saṃskārairna jātibhiḥ
na kulena na vedena na46 karmaṇā bhavettataḥ47

(q) How, then, does the condition of being a brāhmaṇa come to be?
It is said:
The condition of being a brāhmaṇa does not come from scripture, nor from sacraments, nor from births,
nor from lineage, nor from the Veda, nor from action therefore.
