| Abstract | This paper takes a close look at the ways Brahmins are portrayed in one sutta of the Pāli canon that explains the ‘five ancient principles of Brahmins that today are seen in dogs, but not in Brahmins’. The paper analyses the method of comparing Brahmins with dogs and discusses the rhetorical purpose of this comparison by juxtaposing the espective statements with data from Brāhmaṇical law texts. In the course of this analysis three rhetorical echniques are identified (reductionism, exaggeration, and generalization), which Buddhists employed in their polemics against Brahmins. |
