arakṣyamāṇāḥ striya urvi bālān śocasy atho puruṣādair ivārtān vācaṁ devīṁ brahma-kule kukarmaṇy abrahmaṇye rāja-kule kulāgryān

Translation

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?
