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