अधर्माभिभवात्कृष्ण प्रदुष्यन्ति कुलस्त्रियः | स्त्रीषु दुष्टासु वार्ष्णेय जायते वर्णसङ्करः
adharmābhibhavātkṛṣṇa praduṣyanti kulastriyaḥ . strīṣu duṣṭāsu vārṣṇeya jāyate varṇasaṅkaraḥ
噢，克里希那（Krishna）啊，當不法（adharma）盛行時，家族中的婦女便會墮落。噢，伐爾希尼耶（Varshneya）的後裔啊，當婦女墮落時，便會導致種姓（varna）的混雜。
O Krsna, when vice predominates, the women of the family become corrupt. O descendent of the Vrsnis, when women become corrupted, it results in the intermingling of castes.
此節描述了道德淪喪的社會後果。當不法（adharma，即非正法或不義）盛行時，首先影響的是家族中的婦女，導致她們的墮落。這種墮落進而引發種姓（varna，社會階層或種族）的混雜（varṇasaṅkaraḥ），這在古印度思想中被視為嚴重的社會失序。
