Hence, O king, the Brahmana should avoid delivering instructions to such as are lowborn, for it was by giving instructions to a lowborn person a Brahmana came to grief. O best of kings, the Brahmana should never desire to acquire instruction from, or impart instruction to, a person who belongs to the lowest order.
(वर्जयेददुपदेशं च सदैव ब्राह्मणो नृप। उपदेशं हि कुर्वाणो द्विजः कृच्छ्रमवाप्नुयात्।। नेषितव्यं सदा वाचा द्विजेन नृपसत्तम। न च प्रव्यक्तव्यमिह किञ्चिद् वर्णावरे जने॥)
