## Chapter 312:
175. The Adi Purana... There, after the immediate cessation of the family, the ten rights of a twice-born are established by the creator.
176. These are: Atibal Vidya, Kulavadhi, Varnottamatva, Patratva, Srishti Adhikarita, Vyavhareshita, Avadhyatva, Adandayata, Manarhata, and Prajasambandhanta, in order.
177. These ten rights are mentioned in the Upasaka Sangraha. I will briefly explain them here according to their names.
178. The effort to teach knowledge to a twice-born from childhood is called Atibal Vidya. This is considered very auspicious for the twice-born.
179. If this Atibal Vidya is absent, the twice-born becomes foolish, unable to discern the worthy and unworthy. He is deceived by those who falsely claim to be twice-born and falls into the study of false scriptures.
180. Therefore, it is proper for the twice-born to study the scriptures of Shravaka-achara from childhood. By acquiring good conduct through these scriptures, he becomes capable of liberating himself and others.
181. Protecting the customs of one's family is called Kulavadhi for the twice-born. If one fails to protect the customs of his family, all his actions are destroyed, and he falls into another family.
182. Being superior to all other classes is the Varnottama action. Through this Varnottama action, he attains praise and becomes capable of liberating himself and others.
183. If one does not have this Varnottama action, that is, if his class is not superior, then he cannot be excellent. And one who is not excellent cannot purify himself or others.
184. Therefore, a twice-born who desires purity must serve other Kulangas or Kubrahmanas. By doing so, he undoubtedly acquires the faults that arise from them. Meaning: One should always act in a way that does not hinder the superiority of one's class.
185. Due to the importance of qualities, the right to receive donations also belongs to these twice-born. For one who is superior in qualities is worshipped by all in the world, even by those who are worshipped by the world.
186. Therefore, the twice-born should strengthen their right to receive donations through their qualities. If they lack these qualities, they will be deprived of wealth by the king due to their lack of respect.
