"kAyath ko pardhAna aho nisi rahai piyanto
bammana hoy pradhAna sadA rakhvai nishchinto"
-- chanda baradAI in the last samollAsa of prithivIrAja rAso.
{For if you appoint a kAyastha, he would remain drunk throughout the day and at night!! --
Better appoint a brAhmaNa as your prime minister, who would keep worries away from you}
Reflecting the traditional professional rivalry of the two castes, his own and that of kAyasthas, chanda is giving advice that kAyastha is never suited for the post of prime minister. (Of course kAyastha and brAhmaNa were the two most favourite jAti-s for the civil administrative posts)
