WORD BY WORD
kaḥ who; vā indeed; enam the Lord; paricakṣīta would blaspheme; venam King Vena; ekam alone; ṛte but for; aśubham inauspicious; prāptaḥ having obtained; īdṛśam like this; aiśvaryam opulence; yat whose; anugraha mercy; bhājanaḥ receiving.;
TRANSLATION
| But for King Vena, who is simply inauspicious, who would blaspheme the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by whose mercy one is awarded all kinds of fortune and opulence?
|
PURPORT
| When human society individually or collectively becomes godless and blasphemes the authority of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, it is certainly destined for ruination. Such a civilization invites all kinds of bad fortune due to not appreciating the mercy of the Lord.
