It is everyone's experience that workers or servants are generally accustomed to stealing. A first-class servant is one who does not steal.

A śūdra may attend sacrifices and Vedic ritualistic ceremonies along with his master, but he should not utter the mantras, for these may be uttered only by the members of the higher sections of society.
