Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 60
द्विजभक्तिपराः शूद्राः ये पाखंडैर्न लोपिताः । जैन धर्मात्परावृत्तास्ते गोभूजास्तथोत्तमाः
dvijabhaktiparāḥ śūdrāḥ ye pākhaṃḍairna lopitāḥ | jaina dharmātparāvṛttāste gobhūjāstathottamāḥ
Những Śūdra chuyên tâm bhakti và phụng sự các bậc dvija, không bị lạc lối bởi các nẻo pākhaṇḍa, và đã quay lưng khỏi đạo Jaina—đều được xem là ‘gobhūja’ và bậc ưu tú.
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’.
