These, unbroken by time, place, purpose, and caste - rules, are (universal) great vows.
In plain words: These five rules are great vows meant for everyone. They apply no matter the time, the place, the reason, or a person's social rank or caste.
These practices — non-killing, truthfulness, non-stealing, chastity, and non-receiving — are to be practised by every man, woman, and child; by every soul, irrespective of nation, country, or position.
Namaste.
