## Eleventh Chapter
**What would a perfect knower do other than explain the scriptures?**
Because the meaning of a perfect knower is that their statement is proof, they would not explain the scriptures in any other way. (193)
**The fourfold division of castes is not justified without reason.**
The knowledge of the specific body (caste) is not due to the Vedic verses or the fire rituals, as it is claimed. (194)
**The difference in castes is seen wherever there is a difference in the body.**
Just as there is a difference in the body of a human, elephant, donkey, cow, horse, etc. (195)
**A man of one caste does not impregnate a woman of another caste.**
Except for the Brahmanas, etc., where it is seen. This proves that there is no difference in castes among the Brahmanas, etc. (196)
**If you say that a donkey can impregnate a mare, then this argument is not valid.**
Because the donkey and the horse are not entirely different castes, as there is similarity in their bodies, such as having hooves. (197)
**Or, if you say that they are different castes, then their offspring would be different.**
For example, the offspring of a donkey and a mare would be neither a horse nor a donkey, but a mule. However, such a difference in offspring is not seen among the Brahmanas, etc. This proves that the caste system is based on qualities, not on birth. (198)
**Furthermore, the statement that Brahmanas are born from Brahma's mouth, Kshatriyas from his arms, Vaishyas from his thighs, and Shudras from his feet is baseless.**
Such a statement is only suitable for one's own home, not for everyone. (199)
**The Brahmanhood of Rishi Shrunga, etc., is attributed to their qualities, not to their birth in a Brahman family.** (200)
**Because of the growth of all qualities, Lord Rishabhadeva is called Brahma.**
And those good men who are his devotees are called Brahmanas. (201)
**Kshatriyas are called so because they protect from destruction (kshatra).**
Vaishyas are called so because they engage in trade and crafts (shilpa). And those who are quick to learn from the scriptures (shruta) are called Shudras. (202)
**If the speaker is not the doer, but only the speaker, then they will be influenced by attachment and aversion.** (192)
**If they are perfect knowers, then how would they explain the scriptures in any other way?**
Because their statement is proof, they would not explain the scriptures in any other way. This proves the existence of perfect knowers. (193)
