Manvantara· The Manus and right dutySpiritual Standards Must Be Practiced
“At that time the brāhmaṇas of such provinces as Śaurāṣṭra, Avantī, Ābhīra, Śūra, Arbuda and Mālava will forget all their regulative principles, and the members of the royal order in these places will become no better than śūdras.”
What the purport teaches
- The brāhmaṇas in Śaurāṣṭra, Avantī, Ābhīra, Śūra, Arbuda and Mālava will forget all their regulative principles.
- The members of the royal order in these places will become no better than śūdras.
- The decline reaches both the brāhmaṇas and the royal order. Their positions do not prevent the loss of their standards.
