Sanskrit recitation, followed by Hindi translation.
Text:
संकरो नरकायैव कुलघ्नानां कुलस्य च।
पतन्ति पितरो ह्येषां लुप्तपिण्डोदकक्रियाः ।।४२।।
Translation:
वर्णसंकर कुलघातियों को और कुल को नरक में ले जाने के लिए ही होता है । लुप्त हुई पिण्ड और जल की क्रियावाले अर्थात् श्राद्ध और तर्पण से वंचित इनके पित्र लोग भी अधोगति को प्राप्त होते हैं ।
