“Arguing thus, whom should we blame? And with whom should we be angry without any cause? Ponder in your heart, my son, that King DaÜaratha is not worth grieving for. Pitiable is the BrŒhma˜a who is ignorant of the Vedas, and who has abandoned his own duty and is engrossed in the pleasures of sense; pitiable the king who has no knowledge of politics and who does not love his people as his own life: pitiable the VaiÜya (a member of the trading class) who is niggardly though rich, and who is not perfect in hospitality nor in devotion to Lord Ýiva; pitiable the ݵudra (a member of the labouring or artisan class) who is disrespectful towards the BrŒhma˜as, loquacious and proud of his knowledge and loves to be honoured. Pitiable, again, is the woman who deceives her own husband, is crooked and quarrelsome and follows her own will; pitiable the religious student who breaks his vow and obeys not the orders of his preceptor.” (1—4)
