Maelezo

This verse describes samadarśana, equal vision. The wise look with the same eye on a learned and humble brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a śvapāka, a term for those placed at the lowest margin of society in that age. The list deliberately spans the most honoured and the most excluded, humans and animals alike. The equality meant here is seeing the same self or the same divine presence in all, not ignoring practical differences. Many readers take it as a strong ethical challenge to judging worth by birth or status.
