CHAPTER 1
The Yog of Irresolution and Grief

सड्करो नरकायैव कुलघ्नानां कुलस्य च।
पतन्ति पितरो ह्येषां लुप्तपिण्डोदकक्रियाः॥42॥

[ “The unholy intermingling of classes condemns the destroyer of the family as well as the family itself to hell, for their ancestors, deprived of the offerings of obsequial cakes of rice and water libations, fall (from their heavenly abode).’’ ]

It is a quality of varnsankar to despatch families and their destroyers to hell. Divested of obsequial gifts of rice cakes, their forefathers also lose their heavenly home. The present is destroyed, the ancestors of the past fall, and the posterity to come will also descend to hell. Not only this, but

दोषैरेतै कुलघ्नानां वर्णसड्करकारकै:।
उत्साद्यन्ते जातिधर्माः कुलधर्माश्र्च शाश्र्वताः॥43॥

[ “The sin committed by destroyers of families, which causes an intermingling of classes, puts to an end the timeless dharm of both caste and family.’’ ]
