kiṁ kṣatra-bandhūn kalinopasṛṣṭān rāṣṭrāṇi vā tair avaropitāni itas tato vāśana-pāna-vāsaḥ- snāna-vyavāyonmukha-jīva-lokam

Translation

The so-called administrators are now bewildered by the influence of this age of Kali, and thus they have put all state affairs into disorder. Are you now lamenting this disorder? Now the general populace does not follow the rules and regulations for eating, sleeping, drinking, mating, etc., and they are inclined to perform such anywhere and everywhere. Are you unhappy because of this?
