varnan / varnana means description doesn't it? so literally speaking
"Varnika" becomes someone who describes, a 'descriptor'.
interesting to see the writer as a 'thick descriptor'
but also the word 'describe' has already the writer or the 'scribe' inside it

you chanced upon the word varnika, or was it part of your general
sanskrit memory, or did you remember a specific usage of the word in
some sanskrit texts?
