एवं वित्तव्यतिषङ्गविवृद्धवैरानुबन्धोऽपि पूर्ववासनया मिथ उद्वहत्यथापवहति ॥ ३७ ॥

ഇങ്ങനെ ധനാസക്തിയാൽ വളർന്ന വൈരബന്ധം ഉണ്ടായിട്ടും, മുൻവാസനയുടെ പ്രേരണയിൽ അവർ വീണ്ടും വീണ്ടും പരസ്പരം വിവാഹം കഴിക്കുന്നു. എന്നാൽ ദുഃഖകരമായി ആ വിവാഹങ്ങൾ ദീർഘകാലം നിലനിൽക്കില്ല; വിവാഹമോചനമോ മറ്റു മാർഗ്ഗങ്ങളോ വഴി അവർ വീണ്ടും വേർപിരിയുന്നു।
As stated previously, every conditioned soul has the propensity to cheat, even in marriage. Everywhere in this material world, one conditioned soul is envious of another. For the time being, people may remain friends, but eventually they become enemies again and fight over money. Sometimes they marry and then separate by divorce or other means. On the whole, unity is never permanent. Due to the cheating propensity, both parties always remain envious. Even in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, separation and enmity take place due to the prominence of material propensities.
