Penjelasan

Krishna turns to the social order. The duties of brahmins, kshatriyas, vaishyas and shudras, the four classes (varṇa) of the society of his time, are divided according to qualities arising from each person's inborn nature (svabhāva). The verse grounds social roles in inner qualities rather than in privilege. Readers have long debated whether this means a fixed order by birth or a fit between temperament and work. The passage that follows describes each class through its characteristic virtues and tasks.
