Indra–Mataṅga Saṃvāda: On the rarity and responsibilities of Brāhmaṇya (इन्द्र-मतङ्ग संवादः)

ब्राह्मणे दारुणं नास्ति मैत्रो ब्राह्मण उच्यते । आचार्य: सर्वभूतानां शास्ता कि प्रहरिष्यति
Translation
In einem Brahmanen gibt es keine solche Grausamkeit; der Brahmane gilt als einer, der allen Wesen in Freundschaft zugetan ist. Wie könnte der Ācārya, der Lehrer und Mahner aller Geschöpfe, irgendwen schlagen?
