A class on Srimad Bhagavatam 1.16.21 given by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on January 17, 1974 in Honolulu, HI.
Srimad Bhagavatam 1.16.21
arakṣyamāṇāḥ striya urvi bālān
śocasy atho puruṣādair ivārtān
vācaṁ devīṁ brahma-kule kukarmaṇy
abrahmaṇye rāja-kule kulāgryān
Are you feeling compunction for the unhappy women and children who are left forlorn by unscrupulous persons? Or are you unhappy because the goddess of learning is being handled by brāhmaṇas addicted to acts against the principles of religion? Or are you sorry to see that the brāhmaṇas have taken shelter of administrative families that do not respect brahminical culture?
