Shudras

शूद्र

Arisen from the feet; Hari pleased by service

From the feet of the Lord arose service, for the fulfilment of dharma, and in it the shudra was born of old, by whose occupation Hari is pleased: 'padbhyAM bhagavato jaj~ne shushrUShA dharmasiddhaye / tasyAM jAtaH purA shUdro yad-vR^ittyA tuShyate hariH' (SB 3.6.33).
