Reflect

What is the fear that makes me want to set my bow down?

दोषैरेतैः कुलघ्नानां वर्णसङ्करकारकैः

उत्साद्यन्ते जातिधर्माः कुलधर्माश्च शाश्वताः

॥ १.४३ ॥

Through these evils bringing about an intermixture of castes, the age-long caste- traditions and family customs of the killers of kinsmen get extinct.
