ब्राह्मणस्त्रयाणां वर्णानामुपनयनं कर्तुमर्हति, (राजन्यो द्वयस्य, वैश्यो वैश्यस्यैवेति;) शूद्रमपि कुलगुणसम्पन्नं मन्त्रवर्जमनुपनीतमध्यापयेदित्येके ||५||

sanskrit

A Brahmana preceptor is competent to initiate a student belonging to any of the three twice-born castes. A Kshatriya preceptor can initiate a student of the Kshatriya or the Vaishya caste, while a Vaishya preceptor can initiate a student of his own caste alone. A Shudra student of good character and parentage may be initiated into the mysteries of the Ayurveda by omitting the Mantras enjoined to be recited on such an occasion.
