O sinless one, through what kind of personal characteristics can the three classes of men ksatriya, vaisya, and sudra become brahmanas? Is it possible for them to become brahmanas? Please enlighten my doubts on this subject." Siva said, "If a ksatriya or vaisya is established in brahminical behavior, and spends his whole life in brahminical conduct, it is seen that such a person has attained brahminical status. (Mahabharata, Anusasana Parva 14.3.5,8) Any comments? ard Everyone is raving about the all-new Mail beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
