“ထို့ကြောင့် ကိုယ်ခန္ဓာပင် ဘြာဟ္မဏ ဖြစ်သည်” ဟုဆိုလျှင် မဟုတ်ပါ။ ချဏ္ဍာလမှစ၍ လူသားအားလုံး၏ ကိုယ်ခန္ဓာသည် ဓာတ်ငါးပါးဖြင့် ဖွဲ့စည်းထားသဖြင့် ပုံသဏ္ဍာန်တူညီပြီး အိုမင်းခြင်း၊ သေဆုံးခြင်း၊ ကုသိုလ်နှင့် အကုသိုလ် စသည့်အရာများလည်း အားလုံးတွင် တူညီစွာ တွေ့ရသည်။ ထို့ပြင် “ဘြာဟ္မဏသည် အဖြူရောင်၊ က္ଷတ္တရိယသည် အနီရောင်၊ ဝိုင်ရှျသည် အဝါရောင်၊ ရှူဒြသည် အနက်ရောင်” ဟူသော တိတိကျကျ စည်းကမ်းလည်း မရှိ။ ထို့အပြင် ဖခင်တို့၏ ကိုယ်ခန္ဓာကို မီးသင်္ဂြိုဟ်ရာတွင် သားတို့အပေါ် ဘြဟ္မဟတ္တယာ စသည့် အပြစ်ဒోషများ ဖြစ်ပေါ်လာမည်။ ထို့ကြောင့် ကိုယ်ခန္ဓာသည် ဘြာဟ္မဏ မဟုတ်။
If it be said, “then the body is the Brāhmaṇa,”—that is not so. For, from the Caṇḍāla onward, among human beings the body is of one and the same form, being constituted of the five elements; and because old age, death, merit and demerit, and the like are seen to be common (to all). Moreover, there is no fixed rule such as “the Brāhmaṇa is of white color, the Kṣatriya of red, the Vaiśya of yellow, the Śūdra of black.” And further, in the cremation of the bodies of one’s father and others, there would arise for sons and the rest the fault of brahma-hatyā and the like. Therefore, the body is not the Brāhmaṇa.
