Verse 1.41
Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 1.41:
सङ्करो नरकायैव कुल-घ्नानां कुलस्य च ।
पतन्ति पितरो ह्य् एषां लुप्त-पिण्डोदक-क्रियाः ॥ ४१ ॥saṅkaro narakāyaiva kula-ghnānāṃ kulasya ca |
patanti pitaro hy eṣāṃ lupta-piṇḍodaka-kriyāḥ || 41 ||saṅkaraḥ–impure progeny; narakāya–take to hell; eva–certainly; kula-ghnānām–for the destroyers of the dynasty; kulasya–for the dynasty; ca–also; patanti–fall down; pitaraḥ–the ancestors; hi–indeed; eṣām–for them; lupta–having been stopped; piṇḍa-udaka-kriyāḥ–their offerings of sanctified food and water.
The generation of such impure progeny certainly takes both the destroyers of the dynasty and the dynasty itself to hell. Indeed, their forefathers, being bereft of oblations of sanctified food and water, must also suffer the same fate.
