अरक्ष्यमाणा: स्त्रिय उर्वि बालान् शोचस्यथो पुरुषादैरिवार्तान्। वाचं देवीं ब्रह्मकुले कुकर्म- ण्यब्रह्मण्ये राजकुले कुलाग्र्यान्॥ २१

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

देवि! क्या तुम राक्षस-सरीखे मनुष्योंके द्वारा सतायी हुई अरक्षित स्त्रियों एवं आर्तबालकोंके लिये शोक कर रही हो? सम्भव है, विद्या अब कुकर्मी-ब्राह्मणोंके चंगुलमें पड़ गयी है और ब्राह्मण विप्रद्रोही राजाओंकी सेवा करने लगे हैं, और इसीका तुम्हें दु:ख हो॥ २१॥

स्रोत-खंड सीमा · यह हिन्दी अंश गीता प्रेस डिजिटल पाठ में इस दृश्य श्लोक-इकाई के बाद आता है; इसे स्वतः एक-से-एक टीका या संस्करण-समानता नहीं माना गया है।
