Shloka 21
"क्योंकि ये दोनों तुम-जैसे दुष्ट सहायकके कारण मित्रों और मन्त्रियोंके मारे जानेपर पंख कटे हुए पक्षियोंकी भाँति अनाथ (असहाय) होकर विचरेंगे ।। भिक्षुकौ विचरिष्येते शोचन्तौ पृथिवीमिमाम् । कुलघ्नमीदृशं पापं जनयित्वा कुपूरुषम्,“तुम्हारे-जैसे पापी और कुलघाती कुपुरुष पुत्रको जन्म देनेके कारण ये दोनों शोकमग्न हो भिक्षुककी भाँति इस पृथ्वीपर इधर-उधर भटकते फिरेंगे!
bhikṣukau vicariṣyete śocantau pṛthivīm imām | kulaghnam īdṛśaṃ pāpaṃ janayitvā kupūruṣam ||
Vaiśaṃpāyana dijo: «Esos dos, abatidos por el dolor, vagarán por esta misma tierra como mendigos, porque engendraron a un hombre tan pecador y vil, destructor de su propio linaje. Con sus amigos y consejeros muertos, andarán desamparados, como aves a las que se les han cortado las alas».

Educational Q&A
Adharma is portrayed as socially and spiritually ruinous: producing or supporting a ‘kulaghna’ (destroyer of lineage) leads not only to the wrongdoer’s fall but also to the suffering, helplessness, and public degradation of those connected to him.
The narrator forecasts the fate of “those two” (a pair of persons referenced from the surrounding passage): bereft of allies and advisers and consumed by sorrow, they will become helpless wanderers, likened to wing-clipped birds, roaming the earth like beggars because of their association with (or having produced) a sinful, lineage-destroying man.
