By these evil deeds of the destroyers of the family, which cause confusion of castes, the eternal religious rites of the caste and the family are destroyed.

Through these wrongs of those who destroy families and cause the mixing of orders, the age-old duties of birth and the duties of family are uprooted.

Arjuna sums up the social argument. The faults of those who destroy families bring about the mixing of orders, and through it both jātidharma, the duties tied to one's community by birth, and kuladharma, the duties of the family, are uprooted. The verse repeats and gathers the earlier points into one statement. For Arjuna, the war threatens the entire fabric of inherited obligation. Whatever one thinks of the social order he describes, his concern is for stability and continuity, which he sees as the foundation of a righteous life.
