Transliteration
ity ete caturo varṇā yeṣāṃ brāhmī sarasvatī | vihitā brahmuṇā pūrvaṃ lobhāt tv ajñānatāṃ gatāḥ ||
Translation
अशा रीतीने हे चार वर्ण झाले—ज्यांच्यासाठी ब्रह्मदेवाने पूर्वी ब्राह्मी सरस्वती, म्हणजे वैदिक वाणी, नियत केली होती. परंतु लोभामुळे ते अज्ञानभावास गेले आणि वेदाध्ययनास अयोग्य ठरले.
