The Blessed One replied: "Who is an outcast? 2

"An outcast is the man who is angry and bears hatred; the man who

is wicked and hypocritical, he who embraces error and is full of

deceit. 3

"Whosoever is a provoker and is avaricious, has evil desires, is

envious, wicked, shameless, and without fear to commit wrong, let

him be known as an outcast. 4

"Not by birth does one become an outcast, not by birth does one

become a Brahman; by deeds one becomes an outcast, by deeds one

becomes a Brahman." 5
