When even such persons are considered as Brahmanas, why is it that I, who am pleased with my own self, who am superior to all pairs of opposites, who am dissociated from all worldly objects, who am observant of the duty of mercy towards all creatures and of selfcontrol of conduct, should be considered worthy of that dignity?
दुरावापमवाप्यैतन्नानुतिष्ठन्ति मानवाः। एकारामो ह्यहं शक्र निर्द्वन्द्वो निष्परिग्रहः॥
