Brahmins – who as Purusha’s mouth speak to the gods are at the top.

罗门——作为 Purusha 的嘴对神说话的人处于顶端。

Pushyamitra Shunga was a devout Brahmin who disapproved of Brihadratha's rule, which he  considered impious.

Pushyamitra Shunga 是一位虔诚的罗门，他不赞成 Brihadratha 的统治，他认为这种统治是不虔诚的。

Some Brahmins, clad in all the sumptuousness of Oriental apparel, and leading a woman who faltered at every step, followed.

托钵僧的后面，有几位罗门僧侣。他们都穿着豪华的东方式的僧袍，正着一个踉踉跄跄站立不稳的女人往前走。

The guide bowed his head, and all the Brahmins kneeled with their faces to the ground.

向导低下头，所有罗门都面伏于地。

The Brahmins knew it, Plato knew it, every student of the esoteric knows it.

罗门知道， 柏图知道， 神秘学的每个学生都知道。

When will come the time, I wondered, for the purification of the Brahmins themselves who can accept such offerings?

我想知道什么时候才能净化罗门自己， 谁能接受这样的供养？

He soon returned, saying: " A procession of Brahmins is coming this way. We must prevent their seeing us, if possible" .

几分钟后，他跑回来说：" 罗门僧侣的游行队伍向咱们这儿来了。咱们尽可能别叫他们瞧见。"

The original Brahmins tried to set themselves up as political leaders, but Hinduism doesn’t really place a premium on worshippers obeying their leaders.

最初的罗门试图将自己定位为政治领袖，但印度教并没有真正重视信徒服从他们的领袖。

The guide returned in a rush. " A procession of Brahmins is coming this way, " he said. " We must hide! "

导游急匆匆地回来了。 “一队罗门正朝这边过来，”他说。 “我们必须躲起来！”

These were fervent Brahmins, the bitterest foes of Buddhism, their deities being Vishnu, the solar god, Shiva, the divine impersonation of natural forces, and Brahma, the supreme ruler of priests and legislators.

这些善男信女是佛教的死对头，他们狂热地崇信罗门教。罗门教里有三个转活佛：第一个是回斯奴，他是太阳神的化身，第二个是希瓦，他是生灵万物主宰的化身，第三个是卜马，他是一切罗门教教长和立法者的主宰。

His charisma and courage caught the attention  of Chanakya, a Brahmin scholar who bore a grudge against the Nanda Empire, which ruled  the northern part of India.

他的魅力和勇气引起了 Chanakya 的注意，Chanakya 是一位罗门学者，对统治印度北部的南达帝国怀恨在心。

Passepartout, however, thinking no harm, went in like a simple tourist, and was soon lost in admiration of the splendid Brahmin ornamentation which everywhere met his eyes, when of a sudden he found himself sprawling on the sacred flagging.

路路通一点也没想到会闯下大祸，就象平平常常的游客一样走进了玛勒巴山的寺院里，他正在欣赏那金碧辉煌光彩夺目的印度教的装饰，突然被人推倒在神殿里的石板地了。原来是三个僧侣怒气冲冲，扑了过来，扒下了他的鞋袜，给他一顿老拳还夹杂着一阵臭骂。
