ब्राह्मणक्षत्रियविशां शूद्राणां च परंतप।कर्माणि प्रविभक्तानि स्वभावप्रभवैर्गुणैः॥
brāhmaṇakṣatriyaviśāṃ śūdrāṇāṃ ca paraṃtapa |karmāṇi pravibhaktāni svabhāvaprabhavairguṇaiḥ ||

O Arjuna! The duties of spiritual teachers, the soldiers, the traders, and the servants have all been fixed according to the dominant quality in their nature.
