The 42nd chapter: We, the Dev Brahmanas, are the saviors of the world, and we are accepted by all. If they say, "We will not give you the proper share of grain," then ask them, "What makes you special compared to the other Varnas?" If they say, "We are special because of our caste," then that is not true, because caste-based superiority is not experienced. If they say, "We are special because of our qualities," then that is also not true, because you are only name-holders. The Jain Brahmanas who follow their vows are the ones who are superior in qualities. You are without vows, unworthy of worship, cruel, killers of animals, and followers of Mlechcha customs. Therefore, you cannot be considered righteous Dwijas. For all these reasons, the kings should consider these Dwijas as Mlechchas and take the proper share of grain from them like they do from ordinary people. Or, what is the point of saying more? Other than the Jain Dwijas, who follow their vows, no other Dwijas who live like ordinary people are worthy of respect by the kings.
Just as a cowherd protects his cattle from tigers, thieves, and other dangers without laziness, so too should the king protect his people. Just as a cowherd, desiring to see the cattle, goes to the king with offerings and pleases him with wealth, so too, if a powerful king comes to his kingdom, he should consult with the elders and make a treaty with him by giving him something. Because war leads to the destruction of many people, it causes many losses, and its future is also bad, therefore, it is better to make a treaty with a powerful enemy by giving him something. Thus, the king should accept the example of the cowherd and protect his people with wisdom.
