Verse 412. Above Both Good And Evil

Here who’s gone beyond both bonds
to goodness and evil too,
is sorrowless, unsullied, pure
that one I call a Brahmin True.

Explanation: If any person in this world has travelled beyond both good and the bad, and the attachments, and if he is without sorrow, and is bereft of blemishes, and is pure, him I describe as a true brahmana.
