अधीयीरंस्त्रयो वर्णाः स्वकर्मस्था द्विजातयः।
प्रब्रूयाद् ब्राह्मणस्त्वेषां नेतराविति निश्चयः॥अपने-अपने कर्मों में निरत द्विजाति (ब्राह्मण, क्षत्रिय, वैश्य) वेदों को पढ़ें। केवल ब्राह्मण ही वेदों को पढायें अन्य कोई नहीं, यही निश्चय-आदेश है। [मनुस्मृति 10.1]
The upper castes (Brahmans, Kshatriy & Vaeshy) should study the Veds, while performing their prescribed & mandatory duties assigned to them. Only the Brahmns are entitled to teach the Veds, this is the directive-doctrine.
The Brahman teaching Veds should be pure-pious (मनसा,वचना,कर्मणा) mentally, enlightened, speech & actions. He should be crystal clear about the meaning, interpretation, understanding, applicability of Veds. Only cramming-rote memorisation is not enough.
ब्राह्मणः क्षत्रियो वैश्यस्त्रयो वर्णा द्विजातयः।
चतुर्थ एकजातिस्तु शूद्रो नास्ति तु पञ्चमः॥
ब्राह्मण, क्षत्रिय और वैश्य इन्हीं तीन वर्णों को द्विजाति कहते हैं, चौथा एक जाति वर्ण शूद्र है। पाँचवाँ कोई नहीं है।[मनुस्मृति 10.4] Brahman, Kshatriy and Vaeshy constitute the Dwijati Varn; the fourth is Ek Jati i.e., single Varn. Fifth Varn does not exist.
