[2003] "And they, fallen away from brahminhood (brāhmañña) — (so said King Korabya) — are not called brahmins. Seek out others, Vidhūra — virtuous, of great learning, abstaining from sexual intercourse (methuna dhamma) — who may eat my food; friend, we shall give the offering (dakkhiṇā) where what is given bears great fruit."
