"The Songs of Kabir", tr. by Rabindranath Tagore, intro. by Evelyn Underhill, [1915],

Ii

I. 16.
\"Santan jt na pcho nirguNiyn "

It is needless to ask of a saint the caste to which he belongs; p. 46

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.
