Acquiring knowledge from a Brahmana or a Kashtriya or Vaishya or even a Shudra who is of low birth, one having faith should always show respect for such knowledge. Birth and death cannot attack one who has faith. arose
प्राप्य ज्ञानं ब्राह्मणात् क्षत्रियाद् वा वैश्याच्छूद्रादपि नीचादनीक्ष्णम्। श्रद्धातव्यं श्रद्दधानेन नित्यं न श्रद्धिनं जन्ममृत्यू विशेताम्॥
