called Vivarta. From the abstract Brahman, the
multifarious world cannot take its rise. Then what is
en what is
the phenomenon of the world? Actually, the world is

only a false appearance, on the substratum of the

Brahman, as there is the false appearance of the serpent

on a rope. This example is often repeated in the works

on Advaita philosophy.

An unchaste woman thinking of marriage! Though

astonishing, it should be accepted that an unchaste

woman does have passionate feelings but even then,

she cannot satisfy her passion with only one man with

whom she is wedded. The maxim tells, that is why this

woman does not think about marriage.

The word Rathakāra means a man fashioning a chariot,

a carpenter. But he is not included among the first

three Varnas Thus the conventional meaning is stronger

than the derivative meaning. This is what is conveyed

by the maxim. A child of a Vaisya lady and a Sudra
Śudra
husband is 'Karani' When a son is born from Karani
ṇi
and a Mahişāhiṣya husband, he is called a Rathakāra.
