The Brahmin is the religious preceptor for all other castes and the Sanyasins are the spiritual masters for all the castes and orders of society. As such they are very responsible personages in the society. So also is the king and the public leader who are responsible for the material welfare of all people. The progressive religionists and the one who is a responsible human being or one who does not want to spoil his valuable human life, all should refrain from all the above mentioned principles of irreligiousities and specially from the illicit connection of women. If a Brahmin is not truthful all his claim for the position of Brahmin at once become null and void. If a Sannyasi is illicitly connected with women all his claim for the honour of a sannyasi at once become a perjury. Similarly if the king and the public leader are unnecessarily proud or habituated to drinking and smoking certainly they become disqualified in the matter of discharging public welfare activities. Truthfulness being the basic principle for all religiosities the four leaders of the human society namely the Sannyasi, the Brahmin, the king and the public leader must be tested crucially by their character and qualification. Before accepting one as the spiritual or material masters of the society, he must be tested by the above mentioned criterions of factual character. Such public leaders may be less qualified in academic educational qualifications but it is necessary primarily that they should be free from the contamination of the above mentioned four kinds of disqualifications namely gambling, drinking, prostitution and animal slaughtering.

Therefore, whoever desires progressive well-being, especially kings, religionists, public leaders, brāhmaṇas and sannyāsīs, should never come in contact with the four above-mentioned irreligious principles.

#div class="purport"#
The #i#brāhmaṇas#/i# are the religious preceptors for all other castes, and the #i#sannyāsīs#/i# are the spiritual masters for all the castes and orders of society. So also are the king and the public leaders who are responsible for the material welfare of all people. The progressive religionists and those who are responsible human beings or those who do not want to spoil their valuable human lives should refrain from all the principles of irreligiosity, especially illicit connection with women. If a #i#brāhmaṇa#/i# is not truthful, all his claims as a #i#brāhmaṇa#/i# at once become null and void. If a #i#sannyāsī#/i# is illicitly connected with women, all his claims as a #i#sannyāsī#/i# at once become false. Similarly, if the king and the public leader are unnecessarily proud or habituated to drinking and smoking, certainly they become disqualified to discharge public welfare activities. Truthfulness is the basic principle for all religions. The four leaders of the human society, namely the #i#sannyāsīs#/i#, the #i#brāhmaṇa#/i#, the king and the public leader, must be tested crucially by their character and qualification. Before one can be accepted as a spiritual or material master of society, he must be tested by the above-mentioned criteria of character. Such public leaders may be less qualified in academic qualifications, but it is necessary primarily that they be free from the contamination of the four disqualifications, namely gambling, drinking, prostitution and animal slaughter.
