।।1.43।। व्याख्या--'दोषैरेतैः कुलघ्नानाम् ৷৷. कुलधर्माश्च शाश्वताः'--युद्धमें कुलका क्षय होनेसे कुलके साथ चलते आये कुलधर्मोंका भी नाश हो जाता है। कुलधर्मोंके नाशके कुलमें अधर्मकी वृद्धि हो जाती है। अधर्मकी वृद्धिसे स्त्रियाँ दूषित हो जाती हैं। स्त्रियोंके दूषित होनेसे वर्णसंकर पैदा हो जाते हैं। इस तरह इन वर्णसंकर पैदा करनेवाले दोषोंसे कुलका नाश करनेवालोंके जातिधर्म (वर्णधर्म) नष्ट हो जाते हैं।
