Passage 19

In English

There is a brahmin, and he is cooking in the kitchen. On the basis of the work he does, we call him Vanta Brahmin (brahmin cook). The same brahmin is called Pujari Brahmin (brahmin priest) when he does worship in the temple. When he reads the almanac, he is called Panchanga Brahmin (almanac brahmin). The same brahmin, when he goes to the office and discharges his official responsibilities, is called Adhikara Brahmin (officer brahmin). Different names are attributed to the same person.
