FAQs
It describes a cosmogonic act: brāhmaṇas “churn” a being’s body, and from that process various mleccha groups are said to originate.
In Purāṇic usage it often functions as a broad label for groups considered outside Vedic ritual-linguistic norms; the verse frames it as an origin account within a mythic genealogy.
The verse presents a mythic causality rather than a moral endorsement; it juxtaposes ritual purity (akalmaṣa) with coercive action (balāt), a common Purāṇic narrative device to explain origins through extraordinary acts.
