Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 60
द्विजभक्तिपराः शूद्राः ये पाखंडैर्न लोपिताः । जैन धर्मात्परावृत्तास्ते गोभूजास्तथोत्तमाः
dvijabhaktiparāḥ śūdrāḥ ye pākhaṃḍairna lopitāḥ | jaina dharmātparāvṛttāste gobhūjāstathottamāḥ
जे शूद्र द्विजांच्या सेवाभक्तीत तत्पर होते, ज्यांना पाखंडाने भ्रष्ट केले नव्हते, आणि जे जैनधर्मातून परावृत्त झाले—ते ‘गोभूज’ व उत्तम मानले गेले.
Narrator (speaker not explicit in snippet)
Scene: A humble Śūdra household offers service—water, food, and cow-care—to dvijas; a symbolic turning-away from a Jaina identity is shown as leaving behind a different emblem, stepping toward Vedic fire/altar; the community honors them as ‘gobhūja’.
