In this padam Annamaiah decries the futility of caste arrogance. He preaches that we should overcome it and believe that Dharma is the fundamental truth.

Casteism is absolutely wasteful. Which caste does Ajamila and others belong to ?

C 1

Caste differences exist with body and vanish with body. Soul is unblemished and immortal. All devotees of Srihari who keep him in their conscience belong to the best caste.

C 2

Hari is in the conscience of all. Differences are due to eight kinds of pride(due to food,money,women, knowledge, caste,beauty,status and youth). The supreme Yogis rejected them as evils. They realised that transcendental wisdom is the truth and such believers form the best caste.

C 3

Those who are engrossed in Vedic rituals believe that caste is important. This is due to Maya of Vishnu. Those who cross this hurdle realise that believers in Venkatapati's name belong to the best caste.
