Those who were not respectable amongst them no longer showed any respect for them deserving of the same while the latter were seated in any place. Deviating from their fixed duties, they ceased to respect those who had returned into the forest for leading a life of peace and divine meditation. Intermixture of castes freely took place among them. They cared not for purity of body or mind.
