[2005] "Those men have fallen away from brahminhood (brāhmañña)" (thus spoke King Korabya), "they are not called brahmins. Seek out others, Vidhūra — virtuous, of great learning, abstaining from sexual intercourse (methunadhamma) — who may eat my food. Friend, we shall give the offering (dakkhiṇā) where what is given bears great fruit."
