Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Children of a Brāhmaṇa by (women of) the three (lower) castes, of a Kshatriya by (wives of) the two (lower) castes, and of a Vaiiya by (a wife of) the one caste (below him) are all six called base-born (apasada).. From a Kshatriya by the daughter of a Brāhmaṇa is born (a son called) according to his caste (^-ati) a Suta; from a Vaisya by females of the royal and the Brāhmaṇa (castes) spring a Magadha and a Vaideha.
