Krsna:

 

Best of the brahmanas,

are you resting peacefully?

Are your religious practices

proceeding without too much difficulty?

 

When a brahmana is satisfied, come what may

and does not fall way from his duties

then he's qualified and can acquire

the fulfilment of his desire.

 

One, who's not satisfied, he wonders restlessly,

whatever he may be,

even as Indra he'll see only difficulty.

 

I offer my obeisances to the brahmanas and vaisnavas,

because brahmanas are always self-satisfied

and vaisnavas are always engaged in actual welfare activities.

 

Therefore they are the best friends of the people in general,

as they are both free from false egoism

and are always in a peaceful condition of mind.

 

(Song from Princess Rukmini)
