The Biwhndns were the lawyers, iriests, professors, the sole instructed ilass, tbe aobe authorities on taste, norallty, the sole depositaries of what iver stood in the ptooe of science. Everybody* was tounlnlster unto them, everybody to give way to them. The Brahndfi waa abowa the law. He waa "not to be subjected to corporal punishment, most not be Imprisoned, at lined, or pitted, or reviled." In the tow as the Vishnu ’tt was written: *The Brahmins sustain the world. It to by the favor of this Brahmins that the gods reside In heaven.” Under English rule and Ideas the ancient •ant has lost some of its* prestige, but is tottl a forcible reminder of its farm* te grandeur.
