also come means that Vasiṣṭha who is a Brāhmaṇa has
come. The term Brāhmaṇa in the former part of the
sentence sets aside other special characteristics.
Therefore, the term Brāhmaṇa is used. This maxim is
utilized in the explanation of the Paninian Sūtra
"Halantyam".

Cf. गोबलीवर्दन्यायः
 
यः पूर्वं क्वापि वाक्यार्थे अलङ्कारभावमुपमा दिरूपतया अन्वभूत्,
इदानीं त्वजलङ्काररूप एव, अन्यत्र गुणीभावभावात्।
 
स पूर्वप्रत्यभिज्ञानबलात् अलङ्कारध्वनिरिति व्यपदिश्यते
ब्राह्मणश्रमणन्यायेन।

A brāhmaṇa embraces Buddhism and becomes a
Bhikṣu or a Śramaṇaka. Nevertheless, he is referred
to as a Brāhmaṇa owing to his previous state. This
maxim is used in the Sahitya śāstra works to explain
the figure of speech called Vyatireka Alamkāra.
 
491. भद्राघटन्यायः
 
A person called Bhadra served a Yakṣa ardently. As a
result of it, he got a Bhadraghata from the Yakṣa which
yielded all the desires. Once he served rich delicious
food to his relatives and friends. They, obviously, wanted
to know the reason behind his sudden prosperity. Once
in an intoxicated mood, he kept that jar on his head
and began to saunter here and there. Unfortunately,
that Bhadraghaṭa fell down from his head and broke
into pieces. The maxim, through this example, conveys
that an arrogant and an unlucky person cannot retain
 
his affluence.
