वर्णसंकर कुलघातियों को और कुल को नरक में ले जानेवाला ही होता है। श्राद्ध और तर्पण न मिलने से इन- (कुलघातियों-) के पितर भी अपने स्थान से गिर जाते हैं।

वर्णसंकर कुलघातियों को और कुल को नरक में ले जानेवाला ही होता है। अनुभव तब स्पष्ट होता है जब उसे किसी एक घटना का आकस्मिक संयोग न मानकर एक नियम की तरह देखा जाए। यह पंक्ति उसी नियम को इस प्रसंग में रखती है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
