Mantra 6
Sukta 6
ब्राह्मणोऽस्य मुखमासीद् बाहू राजन्योऽभवत्। मध्यं तदस्य यद् वैश्यः पद्भ्यां शूद्रो अजायत
brāhmaṇó ’sya múkham āsīd bāhū́ rājanyò ’bhavat | madhyáṃ tád asya yád vaiśyáḥ padbhyā́ṃ śūdró ajāyata ||
The Brāhmaṇa was his mouth; his arms became the Rājanya. That which was his middle—this was the Vaiśya; from his feet the Śūdra was born.
ব্রাহ্মণ ছিল তাঁর মুখ; তাঁর বাহু রাজন্য (ক্ষত্রিয়) হল। তাঁর মধ্যভাগ—সেটাই বৈশ্য হল; তাঁর পদদ্বয় থেকে শূদ্র জন্ম নিল।
