Varṇa, Sovereignty, and Abhaya-dāna
यो राजानं नवेद् बुद्धया सर्वतः परिपूर्णया । ब्राह्मणो हि कुले जात: कृतप्रज्ञो विनीतवान्
yaḥ rājānaṁ naved buddhyā sarvataḥ paripūrṇayā | brāhmaṇo hi kule jātaḥ kṛtaprajño vinītavān |
जो सर्वथा परिपूर्ण बुद्धि से राजा को सन्मार्ग पर ले जा सके—क्योंकि उत्तम कुल में जन्मा, परिपक्व प्रज्ञा से युक्त और विनयशील ब्राह्मण ही राजा का पथ-प्रदर्शन करने योग्य होता है।
