Thus have I heard.
One time Bhagavan residing in Savatthi (Sravasti), forest Jetavana (United-da-Forest), in Anathapindika his Vihara (Anathapindika).
Then Brahmin Esukari go to Bhagavan, after to speak with Bhagavan's words welcome inquiries, and after talking to the welcome to ask friends, sat down on one side, sit down a party, Brahmin Esukari lord:
- Dear Venerable Gotama, the Brahmin undertakings serving four categories: policy serve the Brahmin, guidelines serve to Sat-imperial-town (Khattiya), guidelines serve to Slack-amnesty (Vessa: people trafficking), guidelines serve to prime-momentum (Sudda: labor). Here, sir Gotama involvement, the Brahmin undertakings serving some Brahmin as follows: Brahmin serve the Brahmin; or Khattiya serve the Brahmin; or Vessa serve the Brahmin, or Sudda serve the Brahmin. Therefore, dear venerable Gotama, the Brahmin undertakings serving some Brahmin. Here, dear venerable Gotama, the Brahmin advocate for Khattiya serve as follows: Khattiya serve for Khattiya; or Vessa serve for Khattiya; or Sudda serve for Khattiya. Therefore, dear venerable Gotama, the Brahmin guidelines serve to Khattiya. Here, dear venerable Gotama, the Brahmin advocate for Vessa serve as follows: for Vessa Vessa serve; or Sudda serve to Vessa. Therefore, dear venerable Gotama, the Brahmin guidelines serve to Vessa. Here, dear venerable Gotama, the Brahmin advocate for Sudda serve as follows: Sudda serve for Sudda. So that no one else can serve for Sudda. Therefore, dear venerable Gotama, the Brahmin advocate for Sudda serve. Dear Venerable Gotama, the Brahmin undertakings serving these four categories. Here, Venerable Gotama have to say about this issue?
- But this the Brahmin, is everyone in the world agrees with the Brahmin when they advocated four types serve this?
- Not that, sir venerable Gotama.
- Hey Brahmin, such as a poor person, no ownership, miserable, even when he does not want, still caught swallow the meat: "Hey man, he must eat meat and He had to pay some money. " Also, the Brahmin, oil is not the recluse, Brahmin was accepted, the Brahmin undertakings serving these four categories.
This Brahmin, I do not say that, all must serve. But the Brahmin, I will not say that, all without having to serve. Whereas this Brahmin, if anyone while serving, become worse, not better be, I do not say that, he must serve. But the Brahmin, if anyone while serving, become better, become worse not. I say, he must serve.
And if this Brahmin, someone asked khattiya as follows: "The service of the Mr., so serve this cause become worse, not better become, or who serve to him, due who serve it the better, become worse not? And so, here he needs to be served by someone? " Khattiya, the Brahmin, if true answer must respond as follows: "Those who serve me, due to serving it become worse, not better, then I do not need him to serve the me. But if someone served me, due to serving it the better, not worse, I need him to serve me. "
And the Brahmin, if someone asked Brahmin ... Hey Brahmin, if someone asked Vessa ... and this Brahmin, if someone asked the following Sudda "People serve him, so serve this cause become worse, not better become, or who serve him, due to serve it the better, not worse become? And so, here he should be served by someone? " The Sudda, the Brahmin, if answered right feet have responded as follows: "Those who serve me, due to serving it become worse, not better, then I do not need him to serve the me. But if someone served me, due to serving it the better, not worse, I need him to serve me. "
This Brahmin, I do not say better because being in a noble family. This Brahmin, I do not say worse because born in a noble family. This Brahmin, I do not say better because beauty wins. This Brahmin, I do not say worse because beauty wins. This Brahmin, I do not say better because assets wins. This Brahmin, I do not say worse because assets wins.
Here, the Brahmin, someone born in a noble family, killing, taking what is not given, lived in the sexual misconduct, lying, said two blades, harsh speech, say compliance Crap, can take heart, there are golf center, with TA. Therefore, I will not say better because being in a noble family. Here, this Brahmin someone born in a noble family abandon killing, taking what is not to abandon, renounce living in sexual misconduct, lying abandoned, leaving said two blades, abandon harsh speech, abandoning say frivolous, without taking care, no golf center, with right understanding. Therefore, I am not saying become worse since the birth of the noble family.
Here, the Brahmin, someone with beauty wins ... Here, the Brahmin, someone with assets wins, killing, taking what is not given ... there evil is. Therefore, I am not saying become better because assets wins. Here, the Brahmin, people with assets away wins from killing ... has right view. Therefore, I am not saying become worse because assets wins.
This Brahmin, I am not saying all must serve. But the Brahmin, I will not say all without having to serve. This Brahmin, who serve, serve the causes of this, confidence is growing, world growth, the growth hear, growth generosity, intellectual growth, I say he must serve.
When they heard that, Brahmin Esukari lord:
- Dear Venerable Gotama, the Brahmin advocated four asset classes, the policy's property Brahmin, undertakings Khattiya's assets and undertakings of Vessa assets, undertakings Sudda's property.
Here, dear venerable Gotama, the Brahmin's property policy Brahmin as alms. But when the Brahmin despised assets alms, he does not do his duty and like cowboy's not taken. Therefore, dear venerable Gotama, the Brahmin's property policy Brahmin. Here, dear venerable Gotama, the Brahmin's assets Khattiya advocated is the bow and arrow. But when people despise assets Khattiya bow and arrow, he did not do his duty, and like cowboy's not taken. Therefore, dear venerable Gotama, the Brahmin's assets Khattiya advocated. Here, dear venerable Gotama, the Brahmin's property policy is Vessa and cattle farming. But when people despise Vessa property and cattle farming, he does not do his duty, and like cowboy's not taken. Therefore, dear venerable Gotama, the Brahmin's assets Vessa undertakings. Here, dear venerable Gotama, the Brahmin's property policy is Sudda sickle and pole. But when people despise assets Sudda sickle and pole, he did not do his duty and like cowboy's not taken. Therefore, dear venerable Gotama, the Brahmin, the policy's property Sudda. The Brahmin, said Venerable Gotama, advocated four asset classes. Here, Venerable Gotama say about this issue?
- Hey Brahmin, does everyone here agrees with the Brahmin when they advocated four asset classes?
- Not that, sir venerable Gotama.

" Also, the Brahmin, oil is not the Brahmin, recluses was accepted, the Brahmin has advocated four asset classes. This Brahmin, I advocated for human assets is St. supreme law. While the memory of its ancient genealogy of the parents, where one can order birth, the time will be accepted depending on that place. If the self can be born into a family Khattiya, time is accepted as Khattiya. If the self can be born into a family of Brahmin, the acceptance is Brahmin. If the self can be born into a family of Vessa, Vessa time is acceptable. If the self can be born into a family Sudda, time is Sudda accepted. This Brahmin, like dependent coastal what a fire was lit, the flame was accepted under grace. If so charming wood, a fire was lit, the flame was accepted as fire wood. If shavings conditioned, a fire was lit, the flame was accepted as flames shavings. If so charming grass, a fire was lit, the flame that was accepted as the grass fire.

But the Brahmin, if a person from a family Khattiya home, abandoned the family, family living through France and the Law is Tathagata uttered, he renounce killing, abandoned taking what is not for, renunciation of sexual misconduct, lying abandoned, leaving said two blades, abandoning harsh speech, abandoning say frivolous, no participating interest, no interest courtyard, there is right, people achieving this path, dhamma.

This Brahmin, what do you think? In this position, only the Brahmin can cultivate compassion, not hatred, not pitch; Khattiya not possible person who Vessa not possible, people Sudda not be?
