3.21.53

sva-sainya-caraṇa-kṣuṇṇaṃ vepayan maṇḍalaṃ bhuvaḥ /
vikarṣan bṛhatīṃ senāṃ paryaṭasy aṃśumān iva //

52—54. When you do not mount your victorious chariot adorned with many precious jewels and go about with your fierce bow of formidable twang threatening away rogues, and shaking the whole extent of the earth trodden by your armies and when you do not go about like the sun leading a great army, all the boundaries i.e., rules and laws relating to Varnas and ashramas instituted by the glorious Lord will be violated—God forbid such a state of things.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
