Translation

This sin being known by us, how can we not retreat,
Being sensible of the fault in effecting the destruction of the clan, O Janardan?

Translation

Why shouldn't we, who clearly see evil in the destruction of the family, think about turning away from this sin, O Krishna?

Translation

With the destruction of dynasty, the eternal family tradition is vanquished, and thus the rest of the family becomes involved in irreligious practice.
