यशोत्तरो शाक्यमुनिर् जातीये आसि क्षत्रियो ।
अर्थदर्शी च तिष्यो च पुष्यो चापि नरुत्तमो ।
जातीये ब्राह्मणा एते भावितात्मा महर्षिणो ॥ ७७ ॥
yaśottaro śākyamunir jātīye āsi kṣatriyo |
arthadarśī ca tiṣyo ca puṣyo cāpi naruttamo |
jātīye brāhmaṇā ete bhāvitātmā maharṣiṇo || 77 ||
“Yashottara and Shakyamuni were by birth nobles; Arthadarshin, Tishya, and the supreme of men, Pushya, were by birth brahmans, great seers who made their selves to grow. (77)
