Those who are mentioned before, are mentioned in their order. The Panktipdvanas 1 ( those who sanctify the row of diners) are the following:—Sacjangi (a person who has learnt all the six ancillary subjects of the Veda), Vinayl (the disciplined one) , Yogin, Sarvatantrasvatantra (he who has mastered all systems of philosophy ) and Tdydvara (a wandering mendicant saint) . All these five should be known as Pahktipdvanas. He who has mastered completely one of the eighteen lores, he who fulfills His duty duly—all of them are also so. The Trindciketas2 (a Brahmana who learns the three Vidyas of Nacikctas), the Traividya (he who has mastered three Vidyas) , the Brahmana who learns Dharrnasastras, the Brahmana who has mastered the Barhaspatya scripture—all these Brahmanas are said to be those who sanctify the row.
