Bhagavai 3:1:34-36
Pāņa — cāndāla. Isvara ...... sārthavāha --- see Bhāsya on Bha. 2.30. 2. Offers obeisance to a high class person, offers obeisance to a low class person
These two propositions specify the difference in offering obeisance. Obeisance was not a uniform process. It was offered to a high class respectable personality with a special mode of humbleness, whereas in offering obeisance to a low class or non-respectable person, commonplace humbleness was shown. In such acts, humbleness does not appear to be the main factor but the mentality of 'like person, like obeisance' is prominent here.
