- ''s.'' A mixed race of the higher and lower castes. ''(c.)--Note.'' The assertion may be ventured, that no Hindu of the present age is a pure, unadulterated descendant of either of the four principal castes recognised in Menu a Institutes. Consult the ancient poems of Ramayana and Bharata on this point. The adulteration of caste may result according to the Ramaya na, from personal conduct as well as from birth.
