Kamrupi Brahmins (Kāmarūpī ) (Sanskrit: ), also known as Kamarupi Brahmana and Kamrupi Bamon; are those brahmins who claimed their descent from the Kanauji immigrant brahmins whom settled in Kamarupa.〔Mani L. Bose, ''Social History of Assam: Being a Study of the Origins of Ethnic Identity'', 1989, p. 40 when the Aryans entered Assam from the west is uncertain. It seems probably that the Aryan penetration into Assam began from the time of the Brahmanas and the Epics and by the 3rd century A.D. Aryan culture became the predominant.〕〔''The Journal of the Institute of Bangladesh Studies''(1994),Institute of Bangladesh Studies, University of Rajshahi "Kamrupi brahmins are those brahmins who claimed their descent from the Kanauji immigrant brahmins of very early period. They settled in Kamrupa and later on spread out"〕 They brought with them different Hindu epics and became the torch-bearers of Aryan culture in the region.〔 ==Classifications== In the Smriti view there are four "varnas", or classes: the Brahmins, the Kshatriyas, the Vaishyas, and Shudras. Manu enjoins that ''Brahamanasaya Tapo Gyana'' ''Tapa Kshatrasaya Rakshanam'' ''Vaishyasya Tu Tapo Varta'' ''Tapa Sudrasaya Sewanama'' The pursuit of knowledge is the austerity of a Brahmana Protecting the people is the austerity of a Kshatriya The pursuit of his daily business is the austerity of a Vaishya And service the austerity of a Sudra. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kamrupi Brahmins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
