Solution
The correct option is A Brahmin Arun could be a Brahmin. Brahmins used to hold elaborate rituals called Yagas or Yagnas to worship God. These involved animal sacrifices, and offerings like ghee. These rituals are usually performed by reciting Sanskrit shlokas which common people do not understand. These rituals are also expensive, so common people could not afford them.
