Note: A dog in a Pariah village used to visit a dog in a Brahmin village, and enticed it to enter the Pariah village by saying :—"You can get neither meat nor bones from vegetarian Brahmins; come to my place and you shall have both."The other replied : —"I prefer this place, for here I have the great honour of being called the father of Brahmins. For when the Brahmins quarrel they call each other Son of a dog, நாய் மகன்! A sarcasm on those who have false ideas of dignity.
