    अधर्माभिभवात्कृष्ण प्रदुष्यन्ति कुलस्त्रियः

    Where disorder prevails, Krishna, the women of the family are corrupted; and when the women are corrupted, confusion of lineage follows.

    दोषैरेतैः कुलघ्नानां वर्णसङ्करकारकैः

    By these wrongs of those who destroy a family — by the confusion of lineage they cause — the enduring duties of community and household are undone.

    पश्य मे पार्थ रूपाणि शतशोऽथ सहस्रशः

    Behold my forms, son of Pritha, by hundreds and by thousands — of many kinds, divine, of many colours and shapes.

    नभःस्पृशं दीप्तमनेकवर्णं व्यात्ताननं दीप्तविशालनेत्रम्

    Touching the sky, blazing, of many colours, your mouths open and your eyes wide and burning — seeing you so, my inmost self shakes, and I find no steadiness and no peace, Vishnu.
