My first pranaam to all members on this forum.
In 2001, I was interested in knowing what duties are prescribed to each varna, and I took my search to the Bhandarkar Oriental Institute, Pune. Due to my shortcomings and diverse commitments in the intervening years, I have lost the knowledge gained. I do remember reading that the Yadnyavalka Smriti was considered by many to be a more authoritative source on Hindu religious laws than the Manu Smriti.
I would like to submit to the members here if they recognise the following transliteration, and if they do, to please explain the meaning and direct me to the source:
If I recollect clearly, this above verse sets out the duties of the Brahman varna.
