যাহাঁ তাহাঁ সর্বলোক করয়ে সম্মান।
ঘরে পাঠাইয়া দেয় ধন, বস্ত্র, ধান ॥ ৮২ ॥

ghare pāṭhāiyā deya dhana, vastra, dhāna
“Anywhere and everywhere I go, all people offer me respect. Even without my asking, they voluntarily give me riches, clothing and paddy.”
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
The speaker received respect everywhere and gifts of riches, clothing and paddy without asking. The purport explains that society provides a brāhmaṇa with life’s necessities so he can remain independent as a teacher, spiritual master and advisor.
The Lord says He has divided society into brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya and śūdra. The purport states that society cannot run smoothly without this division.
Brāhmaṇas should give good advice, and kṣatriyas should administer society and maintain law and order. Vaiśyas should produce and trade to meet society’s needs, while śūdras should serve the other three sections.
