The Insignificance of Caste

English Translation · I.P. 945

THE water of the Ganges cannot sec pollution, yet it may do when carried in a pot; what is lofty and what is lowly arc not the same, it is pollution that shows the difference between them. Is the world divided into parts to hold the various castes and low castes ? Tuka says, Various grains of corn are distinct only till they have been fried.

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
