Pujya Swamiji Haribramendrananda Tirtha continuing the discussion on Shastra Adhikara for Varna-s as prescribed in the Veda-s, emphasizes on the importance of Arthitva and Samarthya. 

The occurance of Shudra Shabd in the dialogue between Raikva Rishi and Raja Janasruthi is further elaborated - owing to the situation by which Raja has approached the Rishi being not due to Jijnjaasa but having his pride hurt. Vyakarana based derivation of Shudra Shabd from the word Shoka is examined for understanding the meaning in the Yogik sense, rather than just the Rudi Artha. Similar case of dialogue from Bhagavad Geeta is also cited, where in Lord Krishna refers to Arjuna's present Klaibyata for restraining from action.

Laukik and Shaastriya Samarthya is further elucidated with examples of influence from modern mediums of instruction and the importance of following the prescribed methods.
