These six beget similar castes on women belonging to the same caste as themselves; so also those belonging to the mother鈥檚 caste procreate (on women of the same caste), as also on women of higher castes.鈥�(27)

 

Medh膩tithi鈥檚 commentary (manubh膩峁�ya):

鈥�These鈥欌�攖he 鈥�厂奴迟补鈥� and the other sons of the 鈥榠nverse order鈥欌�斺��beget similar castes on women belonging to the same caste as themselves,鈥欌赌�i.e., children belonging to the same caste; e.g., on a 鈥�厂奴迟补鈥� mother, the 鈥�厂奴迟补鈥� father begets a son of the 鈥�厂奴迟补鈥� caste; similarly on a 鈥�颁补峁囜笉腻濒补鈥� mother the 鈥楥ha峁囜笉膩la鈥� father begets a son of the 鈥�颁补峁囜笉腻濒补鈥� caste.

鈥�So also those belonging to the mother鈥檚 caste procreate鈥欌�攖he sons of the 鈥榥atural order,鈥� who belong to their mother鈥檚 caste,鈥攖hose described above as 鈥榗alled by the name of the lower caste.鈥� (14).

These also beget sons of their own caste on women belonging to the same caste as themselves; e.g., the 鈥�础尘产补峁ａ弓丑补鈥� father on the 鈥�础尘产补峁ａ弓丑补鈥� mother. So also on a 痴补颈艣测补 woman, a person of the lower caste, begets 痴补颈艣测补s; because of the mention of the 鈥榤other鈥檚 caste.鈥�

Others read 鈥�m膩t峁沯膩tau pras奴yante鈥�; and this means as follows:鈥擮n women of their own caste,鈥�i.e., the 鈥槾〕静�补峁ａ弓丑补鈥� and the rest,鈥攁s also on those of their mother鈥檚 caste鈥�i.e., the 痴补颈艣测补鈥攖hey beget sons of the same caste as themselves.

Though the 鈥�础尘产补峁ａ弓丑补鈥� and the rest are superior to the pure 痴补颈艣测补, yet the text speaks of equality; because both are equally entitled to the rights and privileges of the 痴补颈艣测补.

That 鈥榮ons of the natural order鈥� are meant is indicated by the term 鈥�mother鈥檚 caste鈥�,鈥攅ven though the context clearly pertains to 鈥榮ons of the inverse order.鈥�

鈥�As also on women of higher castes鈥欌�� People, born in the 鈥榠nverse order,鈥� having intercourse with women of higher castes, beget sons; and these are of a lower status,鈥攖his being understood from the consideration of what follows.

As a matter of fact, sons begotten by the 鈥樐�yogava鈥� and the rest on 鈥樐�yogava鈥� women do not obtain the title of 鈥樐�yogava鈥�; and the 鈥榮imilarity鈥� meant is simply that they are of the 鈥榠nverse order鈥�; and when some sons are declared to be of a 鈥榣ower status,鈥� this is based upon the relative status (of the several kinds of sons of the inverse order).

Thus the meaning of the sentence comes to be that鈥斺�楩rom persons born in the inverse order are born persons of the same order, on women belonging to the same or to higher castes.鈥欌��(27)
