The word Brāhmaṇa is a common word, denoting the Brāhmaṇa caste. But when the word mendicantParivrājaka comes as the final word in a compound with the word 'Brāhmaṇa', it means a Brāhmaṇa other than a mendicant. In order to differentiate between the Brāhmaṇas and the mendicants, the compound means the mendicants other than the Brāhmaṇas, as some mendicants are likely to be Brāhmaṇas by caste.
