Note: This proverb is used by Sudras to express the determination to succeed in an enterprised named or else to renounce all secular things. Hindus generally wear only a mustache. But Brahmins generally do not wear even, a mustache as the mustache is looked on as a sign of pride, and they profess to be without pride. Some ascetics however, wear both beard and mustache and Mahratta Brahmins wear mustaches.
