..if one is claiming that he is a brahmana, it is the governments duty tosee whether hes strictly following the brahmana principles: samo damastitiksa, arjavam, whether he is strictly following how to becomeself-controlled, how to remain always pure, clean, suci. Brahmanas anothername is suci, always cleansed. Similarly arjavam, simplicity. Brahmanaslife should be very simple. They should not imitate the ksatriyas and thevaisyas and the sudras....Ksatriya must be always prepared, and if required, to fight also, whetherpeople are keeping their own principle of religion. That is ksatriyas duty.He, if [a] brahmana is bluffing people, that I am brahmana, but he isacting as a sudra, immediately ksatriya should point out and offer himfight, Why you are cheating people? Why you are cheating people?Similarly, a ksatriya is declaring himself that I am ksatriya, but hesacting as a sudra, it is the ksatriyas or the governments duty, that, Whyyou are cheating people? So a ksatriyas business is always prepared tofight. Fight means that to see that everyone is acting nicely. Because ifyou are not acting nicely, and if I say that You are not acting nicely,youll be angry. Upadeso hi murkhanam prakopaya na santaye. Because if oneis actually brahmana, he must act as a brahmana. So if somebody says thatYou are declaring yourself as brahmana but you are not following thebrahmana principle, he will be angry. But a ksatriyas duty is that if heis angry, he should be punished immediately.>>> Ref.
