Who has the odor of Pentapetes phoenicea, rice, sesame, keketaka-flowers (Pandanus odoratissimus) [e.g., kaitaka], or mālatī (a jasmine), whose uvula is adorned (with spots), patient of pain, flesh-eating, fond of kind words, who even if angered is quickly appeased, he is (like) the Vaiśya (artisan) caste”.
