Such people do not consider maha-prasadatranscendental, and therefore they are described here as murkha (foolish) anddu?ta (mischievous). A pure devotee has the power to challenge such high-castepeople, and his brave statements are not to be considered proud or puffed up. Onthe contrary, he is to be considered straightforward. Such a person does not liketo flatter high-class brahmaf)as who belong to the non-Vait:ava community.
