II 

It is needless to ask of a saint the caste to which he belongs; 

For the priest, the warrior.  the tradesman, and all the thirty-six castes, 

alike are seeking for God. 

It is but folly to ask what the caste of a saint may be; 

The barber has sought God, the washerwoman, and the carpenter--

Even Raidas was a seeker after God. 

The Rishi Swapacha was a tanner by caste. 

Hindus and Moslems alike have achieved that End,

where remains no mark of distinction.
