 Vrdcvanara is identitied with the warrior caste (ksatra) and the pap 

 (earn) to the Adityas with the peasantry (vi^). This pap is offered 

 to many divinities (viz. all the Adityas), because it consists of many 

 grains of rice, just as there are many Adityas, and thvis vigi tad 

 bhumanaih dadhati, ' he bestows multiplicity on the peasantry.' Cf. 

 also Cicero, De rep., ii. 40, in quo etiam verbis ac nominibus fuit 

 diligens, qui . . . eos qui aut non plus mille quingentos aeris aut 

 omnino nihil suum in censum praeter caput attulissent ' proletarios 

 nominavit, ut ex iis quasi proles, it est quasi progenies civitatis 

 expectari videretur; Aulus Gellius, xvi. 10, [proletariij prosperiore 

 vocabulo a munere ofticioque prolis edendae appellati sunt, quod, 

 cum re familiari parva minus possent rem publicam iuvare, subolis 

 tamen gignendae copia civitatem frequentarent.
