Bhrigu said That person is called a Brahmana who has been sanctified by birth and other rites; who is pure in conduct; who is devoted to the study of the Vedas, who is constant in his practices of the six well-known purificatory rite; who is steady in all works of pity, who is not given to take his food without having offered it duly to gods and guests; who is attached to his preceptor; and who is always mindful vows and truth.
