an5.192:14.1 Having offered a fee for his tutor, he seeks a wife by both legitimate and illegitimate means. That is, by buying or selling, as well as accepting a brahmin woman by the pouring of water.
an5.192:14.2 He has sex with a brahmin woman, as well as with a woman from a family of aristocrats, peasants, menials, corpse-workers, hunters, bamboo workers, chariot-makers, or scavengers. And he has sex with women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or outside the fertile phase of the menstrual cycle.
an5.192:14.3 His brahmin wife is there for sensual pleasure, fun, and enjoyment, as well as for procreation.
an5.192:14.4 He earns a living by any kind of work.
an5.192:14.5 The brahmins say to him,
an5.192:14.6 ‘Why is it that the worthy sir claims to be a brahmin, but you earn a living by any kind of work?’
an5.192:14.7 He says,
an5.192:14.8 ‘It’s like a fire that burns both pure and filthy things, but doesn’t become corrupted by them.
an5.192:14.9 In the same way, worthy sir, if a brahmin earns a living by any kind of work, he is not corrupted by that.’
an5.192:14.10 A brahmin is called a brahmin corpse-worker because he earns a living by any kind of work.
an5.192:14.11 That’s how a brahmin is a brahmin corpse-worker.
