Dharma Across the Four Yugas, the Disruption of Social Conduct, and Ritual Purification from Varṇa-Mixing Transgressions
अगम्यागमनं तत्र करिष्यन्ति द्विजातयः । अनृतं च वदिष्यन्ति वेदमर्गबहिष्कृताः । विवाहांश्च करिष्यन्ति सगोत्रानसमांस्तथा ॥ ६८.७ ॥
agamyāgamanam tatra kariṣyanti dvijātayaḥ | anṛtaṃ ca vadiṣyanti vedamārgabahiṣkṛtāḥ | vivāhāṃś ca kariṣyanti sagotrānasamāṃs tathā || 68.7 ||
ब्राह्मण लोग गलत काम करेंगे, झूठ बोलेंगे। वेदों का रास्ता छोड़ देंगे। शादी भी ऐसे लोगों से करेंगे जो अपने खानदान से हैं, जो गलत है।
