1 In the thirty-ninth verse, Arjuna describes his own version of the evils of war - in terms of a closed or chosen group of people whose future is dear to him.

2 In this stanza Arjuna says;

|| Kula-Kshaye Pranashyanti Kula-Dharmah Sanatanah

Dharme Nashte Kulam Krutsnam Adharmo Abhibhavtyuta ||

3 This can be roughly translated as;

With the destruction of dynasty, the spiritual family rituals perish forever and at the loss of these values, the whole ancestry comes under the influence of unrighteousness.

4 Arjuna addresses Krishna as Varshneya which stands for the descendant of Vrishni in the fortieth stanza. Here he says;

|| Adharma’abhibhavat Krishna Pradusyanti Kula-Striyah

Strishu Dushtasu Varshneya Jayate Varna-Sankarah ||

5 The stanza can be roughly translated as;

O Krishna, when immorality prevails the women in the family become unethical and from the corruption of womanhood comes unfortunate descendant.



6 The forty-first stanza states how wicked conditions arise when Sanskaras are neglected;

|| Sankaro Narakayaiva Kula-Ghnanam Kulasya Cha
Patanti Pitaro Hyesham Lupta-Pindodaka-Kriyah ||

7 Here Arjuna is trying to say that;

Such unfortunate clan certainly leads to the hellish situation for the family and for those who destroy the family culture. These corrupt family will mark the fall of their ancestors by ceasing the offerings of Pinda sacraments(rice-balls and water rites).
