O Krishna, by the prevalence of impiety, the women of the family become corrupt; and, when women are corrupted, O Varshenya (descendant of Vrishni), intermingling of castes arises.

Swami Sivananda

O Krishna, when vice predominates, the women of the family become corrupt. O descendant of the Vrsnis, when women become corrupted, it results in the intermingling of castes.

O Krsna, due to the domination of impiety, the women of the family become corrupt. O member of the Vrsni-clan, when the women become corrupt, there arises the intermixture of castes.

हे कृष्ण! अधर्म के अधिक बढ़ जाने से कुल की स्त्रियाँ दूषित हो जाती हैं; (और) हे वार्ष्णेय! स्त्रियों के दूषित होने पर वर्णसंकर पैदा हो जाते हैं।

हे कृष्ण ! पाप के अधिक बढ़ जाने से कुल की स्त्रियां दूषित हो जाती हैं,  और हे वार्ष्णेय ! स्त्रियों के दूषित होने पर वर्णसंकर उत्पन्न होता है।
