1:42
“By the misdeeds of those who destroy the family and cause unwanted children, all kinds of community projects and family welfare activities are devastated.”
Sanskrit
दोषैरेतैः कुलघ्नानां वर्णसङ्करकारकैः | उत्साद्यन्ते जातिधर्माः कुलधर्माश्च शाश्वताः ||

doṣair etaiḥ kula-ghnānāṁ varṇa-saṅkara-kārakaiḥ utsādyante jāti-dharmāḥ kula-dharmāś ca śāśvatāḥ
Commentary
The cascading effects continue - community and family welfare systems, built over generations, collapse when families are destroyed. Society itself begins to unravel.
