The earth with her wealth, never worships him for long, as her lord, who is without a Brahmana. The earth however surrounded by the sea worships him who is governed by a Brahmana and is instructed by him regarding his duties.
वर्णं द्वितीयं भजते चिराय। समुद्रनेमिनमते तु तस्मै यं ब्राह्मणः शास्ति नयैर्विनीतम्॥
