Purport
It is a plight for the people of the earth that in the age of Kali the women and the childern along with Brahmins and cow will be neglected grossly in the matter of their protection. In this age illicit connection with women will render many women and childern uncared for. Circumstancially the women will try to become independent of the protection of man and marriage will be performed as a matter of formal agreement between man and woman resulting in most cases the childern will be not taken care of properly. The Brahmins are traditionally intelligent class of men in the society and as such they will be able to pick up modern education to the topmost rank but so far moral and religious principles are concerned they shall be the fallen number one. Education and fallen in character go ill together but such things will go on as parallel to one another. The administrative heads as a class will condemn the tenets of vedic wisdom and will prefer to conduct a so called secular state and yet the so called educated Brahmins will be purchased by such unscupulous administrators. Even a philosopher and writer of many books on religious principles may also accept an exhalted post in a government which denies all moral codes in the shastras the Brahmins are specifically restricted in acceptance of service. But in this age they will not only accept service but they will do so even it is of the meanest quality. These are some of the symptoms of the Kali age. And they are harmful to the general welfare of the human society.
