Thanks for the correction, Madhav. I was wondering about the “aunty varna”—a completely new concept …

Cheers,

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 antya 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.

A colleague who is no on this list asked whether anyone can trace this expression: kalāv ādyantayos sthitiḥ. Any clues? Thanks.
