ŚB 12.3.25 · गीता प्रेस पाठ

तस्मिँल्लुब्धा दुराचारा निर्दया: शुष्कवैरिण:। दुर्भगा भूरितर्षाश्‍च शूद्रदाशोत्तरा: प्रजा:॥ २५

हिन्दी भावार्थ

कलियुगमें लोग लोभी, दुराचारी और कठोरहृदय होते हैं। वे झूठमूठ एक-दूसरेसे वैर मोल ले लेते हैं, एवं लालसा-तृष्णाकी तरंगोंमें बहते रहते हैं। उस समयके अभागे लोगोंमें शूद्र, केवट आदिकी ही प्रधानता रहती है॥ २५॥

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।
