Sanskrit Original
ब्रह्म ग्यान बिनु नारि नर कहहिं न दूसरि बात। कौड़ी लागि लोभ बस करहिं बिप्र गुर घात।।99(क)।। बादहिं सूद्र द्विजन्ह सन हम तुम्ह ते कछु घाटि। जानइ ब्रह्म सो बिप्रबर आँखि देखावहिं डाटि।।99(ख)।।
brahma gyāna binu nāri nara kahahiṃ na dūsari bāta. kauḍaī lāgi lōbha basa karahiṃ bipra gura ghāta..99ka.. bādahiṃ sūdra dvijanha sana hama tumha tē kachu ghāṭi. jānai brahma sō biprabara āomkhi dēkhāvahiṃ ḍāṭi..99kha..
Men and women talk of nothing else than the Knowledge of Brahma; while in their greed they would kill a Brahmana or, for the matter of that, even their own spiritual guide for the sake of a single shell. Sμudras argue with the twice-born : "Are we in anyway inferior to you? A good Brahmana is he who knows the truth of Brahma !" and defiantly glower at them.
