Meaning

Farming, protecting cattle and trade are the duties born of a Vaishya's nature; work in the form of service is the duty born of a Shudra's nature.

हिंदी में अर्थ

खेती, गौ-पालन और व्यापार वैश्य के स्वभाव से उत्पन्न कर्म हैं; सेवा के रूप में किया जाने वाला कर्म शूद्र के स्वभाव से उत्पन्न है।
