Brief Explanations

To solve the matching, we refer to the text: "His mouth became the Brahmin (priests); his arms were made into the Warrior; his thighs the [Common] People; and from his feet the Servants were born."

For the mouth (the first blue dot on the face), the corresponding varna is Priests (since mouth → Brahmin = priests). For the arm (the blue dot on the arm), the corresponding varna is Warriors (since arms → Warrior).

Answer:

  • For the mouth (face) dot: Priests
  • For the arm dot: Warriors
