अल्पाचारोल्पवेदश्च क्षत्रियो राजसेवकः । किंचिदाचारवान्वैश्यः कृषिवाणिज्यकृत्तया ३ ।

sanskrit

A brahmin following some of the prescribed rules of conduct and with a smattering of the Vedas is a Kṣatriya brahmin, at best a royal servant. Very careless in following the rules of conduct the brahmin is really a Vaiśya brahmin. One engaged in agriculture and trading activities is also likewise.
