brahma-sudra

janmana jayate sudrah
(antar)samskarat dwij uchchte
veda pathnat bhavet viprah
brahma janati iti brahmanah

By birth one is a sudra (lowest caste), by the purificatory process one becomes a dvija (higher caste), by study of the Vedas one becomes a vipra, and one who knows Brahman is a brahmana.
