[179] **"The brahmin is not to be led by virtue and vows (na brāhmaṇo sīlavatena neyyo)":** The word "na" is a negation. **"Brahmin (brāhmaṇa)":** one is a brahmin because of having banished seven things … independent (anissita), such a one (tādī), he is called a brahmā. **"The brahmin is not to be led by virtue and vows"** means: a brahmin does not go, is not led away, is not carried off, is not swept along by virtue (sīla), or by vows (vata), or by virtue and vows; therefore, "the brahmin is not to be led by virtue and vows."
