There is no doubt that even now I consider you to be a Brahmana, for the Brahmana who is vain and haughty who is sinful and evilminded and who is fond of degraded practices, is no better than a Shudra.
साम्प्रतं च मतो मेऽसि ब्राह्मणो नात्र संशयः। ब्राह्मणः पतनीयेषु वर्तमानो विकर्मसु॥ दाम्भिको दुष्कृतः प्रायः शूद्रेण सदृशो भवेत्।
