Kula (Family/Clan)

Let's see what has been said about the connection with the family and about clans.

Without attachment to son, wife, home and others!

असक्तिरनभिष्वङ्गः पुत्रदारगृहादिषु ।
नित्यं च समचित्तत्वमिष्टानिष्टोपपत्तिषु ॥१३:१०॥

Lord Krishna says to Arjun:
Without attachment, without connections to son, wife, home among others. Always even minded in desired and undesired and in reasoning.

They don't see the fault in the loss of clan and exploitation of friends.

यद्यप्येते न पश्यन्ति लोभोपहतचेतसः ।
कुलक्षयकृतं दोषं मित्रदोहे च पातकम् ॥१:३८॥

Arjun says to Lord Krishna:
Even if they do not see, with their damaged minds, the fault in the loss of the clan and the sin in exploitation of the friends.

Self-restrain, austerity, honesty, knowledge, piety etc are the actions pertaining to Braahmans.

कुलक्षये प्रणश्यन्ति कुलधर्माः सनातनाः ।
धर्मे नष्टे कुलं कृत्स्नमधर्मो:ऽभिभवत्युत ॥१:४०॥

Arjun says to Lord Krishna:
Tranquility, self-restraint, austerity, purity, endurance, honesty, knowledge, comprehension and piety are the actions, born of their own nature, of the Braahmans.

The overpowering sinfulness corrupts the women of the clan.

अधर्माभिभवात्कृष्ण प्रदुष्यन्ति कुलस्त्रिय​:।
स्त्रिषु दुष्टासु वार्ष्णेय जायते वर्णसङ्कर​: ॥१:४१॥

Arjun says to Lord Krishna:
The overpowering sinfulness corrupts the women of the clan, O Krishna. With depravity in women, mongrels grow.

The mongrels will destroy the clan.

सङ्करो नरकायैव कुलघ्नानां कुलस्य च ।
पतन्ति पितरो ह्येषां लुप्तपिण्डोदकक्रिया: ॥१:४२॥

Arjun says to Lord Krishna:
The mongrels, the hellish clan-destroyers, will really destroy the clan. The ancestors will indeed fall of the grace due to disappearing actions of offerings of food and water.

The eternal established duties of the classes and those of clans are abolished.

दोषैरेतै: कुलघ्नानां वर्णसङ्करकारकै: ।
उत्साद्यन्ते जातिधर्माः कुलधर्माश्च शाश्वताः ॥१:४३॥

Arjun says to Lord Krishna:
The mongrels become the cause of all these clan-destroying harms. The eternal established duties of the classes and those of clans are abolished.

Humans will be destined to the hell.

उत्सन्नकुलधर्माणां मनुष्याणां जनार्दन ।
नरकेऽनियतं वासो भवतीत्यनुशुश्रुम ॥१:४४॥

Arjun says to Lord Krishna:
With the abolition of the established duties of the clans, O Janaardan (Krishna), humans will be destined to the hell which becomes their abode, this has been heard.
