dn27:3.1 Then the Buddha said to Vāseṭṭha,
BAGIAN 3
dn27:3.2 “Vāseṭṭha, you are both brahmins by birth and family, and have gone forth from the lay life to homelessness from a brahmin family. I hope you don’t have to suffer abuse and insults from the brahmins.”
dn27:3.3 “Actually, sir, the brahmins do insult and abuse us with their typical insults to the fullest extent, holding nothing back.”
dn27:3.4 “But how do the brahmins insult you?”
dn27:3.5 “Sir, the brahmins say:
dn27:3.6 ‘Only brahmins are the best class; other classes are inferior.
dn27:3.7 Only brahmins are the light class; other classes are dark.
dn27:3.8 Only brahmins are purified, not others.
dn27:3.9 Only brahmins are the Divinity’s bosom sons, born from his mouth, born of the Divinity, created by the Divinity, heirs of the Divinity.
dn27:3.10 You’ve both abandoned the best class to join an inferior class, namely these shavelings, fake ascetics, primitives, black spawn from the feet of our kinsman.
dn27:3.11 This is not right, it’s not proper!’
dn27:3.12 That’s how the brahmins insult us.”
