26.
The Suta, the Vaidehaka, the Kandala, that lowest of mortals, the
Magadha, he of the Kshattri caste (gati), and the Ayogava, 27.
These six (Pratilomas) beget similar races (varna) on women of their
own (caste); they (also) produce (the like) with females of their
mother's caste (gati), and with females (of) higher ones. 28.
As a (Brahmana) begets on (females of) two out of the three
(twice-born castes a son similar to) himself, (but inferior) on
account of the lower degree (of the mother), and (one equal to
himself) on a female of his own race, even so is the order in the
case of the excluded (races, vahya). 29.
Those (six mentioned above) also beget, the one on the females of
the other, a great many (kinds of) despicable (sons), even more
sinful than their (fathers), and excluded (from the Aryan community,
vahya). 30.
Just as a Sudra begets on a Brahmana female a being excluded (from
the Aryan community), even so (a person himself) excluded pro
creates with (females of) the four castes (varna, sons) more (worthy
of being) excluded (than he himself). |
