The brahmanas and Vedic knowledge come from the mouth of
the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the ksatriyas and bodily
strength come from His arms, the vaisyas and their expert knowl-
edge in productivity and wealth come from His thighs, and the
sadras, who are outside of Vedic knowledge, come from His feet.
May that Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is full in prowess,
be pleased with us.
