[2009] "Those men, too, are devoid of brahminhood (brāhmañña)," (thus spoke King Korabya,) "they 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."
