Srimad Bhagavatam

यद्वाचि तन्त्यां गुणकर्मदामभिः सुदुस्तरैर्वत्स वयं सुयोजिताः । सर्वे वहामो बलिमीश्वराय प्रोता नसीव द्विपदे चतुष्पदः ।। ५-१-१४ ।।

sanskrit

My dear boy, all of us are bound by the Vedic injunctions to the divisions of varṇāśrama according to our qualities and work. These divisions are difficult to avoid because they are scientifically arranged. We must therefore carry out our duties of varṇāśrama-dharma, like bulls obliged to move according to the direction of a driver pulling on ropes knotted to their noses. ।। 5-1-14 ।।
