And when immorality prevails, O Krishna, the women
of the family become corrupted; when women are corrupted, social problems arise. (1.41)
This brings the family and the slayers of the family to
hell, because the spirits of their ancestors are degraded when deprived of ceremonial
offerings of rice-ball and water. (1.42)
The everlasting qualities of Varna and family traditions
of those who destroy their family are ruined by the sinful act of illegitimacy. (1.43)
