Labourer, the fourth caste of workers. See Caste. (Glossary for the Vahinis)

Now for the labourers and their ideal characteristics: They have to produce and gather things of value, not deviating from the path of Dharma. Always earnest to realize the objects of human existence and always striving for the same, they must intelligently store and protect things produced and try to produce more and more, for the common benefit. The things thus collected have to be liberally utilized for the spread of genuine knowledge (vidya) and for the sustenance and support of the virtuous. (DV, p. 115)
