Indra–Mataṅga Saṃvāda: On the rarity and responsibilities of Brāhmaṇya (इन्द्र-मतङ्ग संवादः)
Devanagari script
ब्राह्मणे दारुणं नास्ति मैत्रो ब्राह्मण उच्यते । आचार्य: सर्वभूतानां शास्ता कि प्रहरिष्यति
Translation
ليس في البراهميّ مثلُ هذه القسوة؛ فالبراهميّ يُوصَف بأنه ذو مودةٍ لجميع الكائنات. فكيف يَضرِبُ المُعلِّمُ (الآتشاريّا) الذي يُرشدُ كلَّ الأحياء ويؤدّبهم أحدًا؟
