⁷ ... karṣakān kṣatravit-śūdrān samahīnāmstu dāpayet. Kātyā., verses 479-80. The context here shows that the term karṣakān qualifies the phrase kṣatravit-śūdrān. In his translation Kane treats the term karṣakān as an independent noun (Tr., verses 479-80), but this does not seem to fit in with the tenor of the passage, which introduces karṣakān between the terms brāhmaṇa and kṣatravit-śūdrān. cf. Kātyā., verse 586.
