On Those Worthy of Honor and Salutation
पर्याये तात कम्मिंश्रिद् ब्राह्मण्यमिह विन्दति । ब्राह्मण जो-जो जिस प्रकार करना चाहता है
śakra uvāca | paryāye tāta kasmiṃś cid brāhmaṇyam iha vindati | tāta jīvaḥ asya jagataḥ antar anekāsu yoniṣu bhraman bāhulyena janma labhate | evaṃ janma-janmāntareṣu kadācit sa brāhmaṇatvaṃ prāpnoti |
शक्र म्हणाला—तात! काळाच्या क्रमाने हा जीव आपल्या कर्मांनुसार कधीतरी या लोकी ब्राह्मणत्व प्राप्त करतो. अनेक योन्यांत भटकत देही पुन्हा पुन्हा जन्म घेतो; आणि अशा रीतीने अनेक जन्मांनंतर कधीतरी ब्राह्मणत्वास पोहोचतो.

Educational Q&A
Brahminhood is presented as something attained in due course through the long wandering of the jīva across many births—implying a moral-spiritual maturation shaped by karma and discipline rather than a merely accidental or momentary condition.
Indra (Śakra) is instructing a listener addressed as “tāta,” explaining how beings transmigrate through many forms and, at some point in that sequence of births, may attain the status of a brāhmaṇa.
