“Then Buddha points out how even an excommunicated Kshatriya is socially considered superior to a Brahmana while an excommunicated Brahmana falls below a Kshatriya.

Buddha says, "So even if a Kshatriya has suffered extreme humiliation, he is superior and the Brahmins inferior."

Buddha quotes a verse he attributes to Brahma Sanatkumara: The Kshatriya's best among those who value clan, he with knowledge and conduct is best of gods and men.”
