c4.12

‘All friends are joyful in the friend who cometh in triumph, having conquered in assembly.
He is their blame averter, food provider; prepared is he and fit for deed of vigour.
One plies his constant task reciting verses; one sings the holy psalm in Sakvari measures.
One more, the Brāhman, tells the lore of being, and one lays down the rules of sacrificing.’
