Swami Sivananda

For, O son of Prtha, even those who are born of sin-women, Vaisyas, as well as Sudras—[S.'s construction of this portion is: women, Vaisyas as well as Sudras, and even others who are born of sin (i.e., those who are born low and are of vile deeds, viz Mlecchas, Pukkasas and others). M.S. also takes papa-yonayah (born of sin) as a separate phrase, and classifies women and others only as those darred from Vedic study, etc.-Tr.]—even they reach the highest Goal by taking shelter under Me.
