10. For the priesthood he seizes a Brahmana, for the Brahmana is the priesthood: he thus joins priesthood to priesthood;—for the nobility he seizes a Rajanya, for the Rajanya is the nobility: he thus joins nobility to nobility;—for the Maruts (he seizes) a Vaishya, for the Maruts are the clans (peasants): he thus joins peasantry to peasantry;-for (religious) toil (he seizes) a Shudra, for the Shudra is toil: he thus joins toil to toil;—according to their particular form he thus supplies these divinities with victims, and, thus supplied, they supply him with all his objects of desire.
