yaiḥby those — by those; kopitamenraged — enraged; brahmathe order of the brāhmaṇas-kulamthe order of the brāhmaṇas — the order of the brāhmaṇas; rājanyaiḥby the administrative order — by the administrative order; ajitaunrestricted — unrestricted; ātmabhiḥby oneself — by oneself; tatthat — that; kulamfamily — family; pradahatiis burnt up — is burnt up; āśuwithin no time — within no time; satogether with family members-anubandhamtogether with family members — together with family members; śucābeing put into grief-arpitambeing put into grief — being put into grief.
If the kingly administrative order, being unrestricted in sense control, offends the brāhmaṇa order and enrages them, then the fire of that rage burns up the whole body of the royal family and brings grief upon all.
The brāhmaṇa order of society, or the spiritually advanced caste or community, and the members of such highly elevated families, were always held in great esteem by the other, subordinate castes, namely the administrative kingly order, the mercantile order and the laborers.
