Day 11

January 11 – Chapter 1; Verses 38-39

यद्यप्येते न पश्यन्ति लोभोपहतचेतसः ।

कुलक्षयकृतं दोषं मित्रद्रोहे च पातकम् ॥ १-३८॥ 

yady apy ete na paśhyanti lobhopahata-chetasa
kula-k
haya-kita doha mitra-drohe cha pātakam (38) 

யத்4யப்1யேதே2 ந ப1ஶ்யன்தி1 லோபோ41ஹத1சே11ஸ: |
கு1லக்ஷயக்1ருத1ம் தோ3ஷம் மித்1ர த்3ரோஹே ச1 பா111ம் ||38||

38. Though they, with intelligence overpowered by greed, see no evil in the destruction of families, and no sin in hostility to friends,

कथं न ज्ञेयमस्माभिः पापादस्मान्निवर्तितुम् ।

कुलक्षयकृतं दोषं प्रपश्यद्भिर्जनार्दन ॥ १-३९॥ 

katha na jñeyam asmābhi pāpād asmān nivartitum
kula-k
haya-kita doha prapaśhyadbhir janārdana (39) 

12ம் ந ஞேயமஸ்மாபி4: பா1பா13ஸ்மான்னிவர்தி1து1ம்

கு1லக்ஷயக்1ருத1ம் தோ3ஷம் ப்1ரப1ஶ்யத்3பி4ர்ஜனார்த3ன ||39||

39. Why should not we, who clearly see evil in the destruction of a family, learn to turn away from this sin, O Janardana (Krishna)?

COMMENTARY: Ignorance of the law is no excuse and wanton sinful conduct is a crime unworthy of knowledgeable people who are wiser.
