37. Tadabhavanirdharane ca pravrtteh On account of the procedure. on determination of its absence.
The scriptural text-'A non-Brahmana pupil would not be able to tell this' (Chand. IV -4-5) determines that the desciple was not a Shudra. The teacher also proceeded to impart the Vidya to him only on determination of this fact. Hence Shudras do not possess the necessary qualifications. 38. Sravanadhyayanarthapratisedhat
And on account of the prohibition of hearing, studying, and learning the meaning of the Vedas.
In tbe case of Shudra, hearing, studying etc. of the Vedas are prohibited under the rule-'Therefore the Vedas must not be studied in the presence of Shudras' The prohibition of hearing implies the prohibition of study also in the case of Shudras.
