Dear Paturiji,

     This quote in some medieval Dharmaśāstra works is interpreted to mean
that in the Kali Yuga, only the ādya varṇa [= Brahmins] and the aunty varṇa
[= śūdras] survive, and that there are no true Kṣatriyas and Vaiśyas.  This
quote was the basis for rejecting the Kṣatriyahood of some kings during the
medieval times.
