ब्राह्मणो नावमन्तव्यो वन्दनीयश्च नित्यशः / प्रतिसंग्राहयणीयश्च नाधिकं साधितं क्वचित्
Transliteration
brāhmaṇo nāvamantavyo vandanīyaśca nityaśaḥ / pratisaṃgrāhayaṇīyaśca nādhikaṃ sādhitaṃ kvacit
Translation
ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣನನ್ನು ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಅವಮಾನಿಸಬಾರದು; ಅವನು ಸದಾ ವಂದನೀಯನು. ಅವನಿಗೆ ಯೋಗ್ಯ ಸತ್ಕಾರ ಮಾಡಬೇಕು; ಇದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಸಾಧನೆ ಎಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಇಲ್ಲ.
