v2.c19.352
*Vrātya*. According to Āp. Dh. S. I. 1. 1. 22–I. 1. 2. 10, Pār. gṛ. II. 5 and other sūtra works a *vrātya* is one on whom and on whose ancestors the saṁskāra of upanayana has not been performed. But in other works like Baud. Dh. S. (I. 9. 15), the word vrātya is applied to all who are born of the mixture of varṇas.
