[2021] "They too are bereft of brahminhood (brāhmañña)" — (so spoke King Korabya) — "they are not called brahmins. Seek out others, Vidhūra — virtuous, of great learning, abstaining from sexual intercourse (methunā dhammā) — who may eat my food. Friend, we shall give the offering (dakkhiṇā) where what is given bears great fruit."
