Significance of Degradation

Degradation, in the context of Vaishnavism, is a decline in spiritual standing resulting from wrongful actions, particularly against a Vaishnava guru or motivated by envy. Dharmashastra highlights it as a decline in moral and ethical status due to sinful actions, including the loss of social honor from certain marriages. Historically, degradation encompasses a broader decline to a lower moral or social condition, emphasizing the consequences of improper actions and associations deemed sinful.
