Here it is shown that even an unrighteous city is sanctified by the memory of a holy sage. It is telling that Gautama begot sons upon a shudra woman: holiness does not sort by caste, and seers are born of a pure ascetic. Thus the text shows that grace stands above caste; and further follow the naga-guardians of the place.
