If a Kshatriya begets a son upon Brahmani woman, such son, without being included in any of the four pure castes, comes to be considered as a Suta, The duties of a Suta consist in reciting eulogies and encomiums of kings and other great men. The son begotten by a Vaishya upon a woman of the Brahmana, order, is known as a Vaidehaka. Their duties consist in taking charge of bars and bolts for protecting the privacy of women of respectable families. Such sons have no purifying rites laid down for them.
विप्रायां क्षत्रियो बाह्यं सूतं स्तोमक्रियापरम्। वैश्यो वैदेहकं चापि मौद्गल्यमपवर्जितम्॥
