3 A master of their laws stood forth and said, The Holy One whom we call Brahm, made men to suit himself, and men should not complain.
4 In the beginning days of human life Brahm spoke, and four men stood before his face.
5 Now, from the mouth of Parabrahm the first man came; and he was white, was like the Brahm himself; a brahman he was called.
6 And he was high and lifted up; above all want he stood; he had no need of toil.
7 And he was called the priest of Brahm, the holy one to act for Brahm in all affairs of earth.
8 The second man was red, and from the hand of Parabrahm he came; and he was called shatriya.
9 And he was made to be the king, the ruler and the warrior, whose highest ordained duty was, protection of the priest.
10 And from the inner parts of Parabrahm the third man came; and he was called a visya.
11 He was a yellow man, and his it was to till the soil, and keep the flocks and herds.
12 And from the feet of Parabrahm the fourth man came; and he was black; and he was called the sudras, one of low estate.
