Chapter 4: Hiranyakasipu Terrorizes the Universe. Text 27

यदा देवेषु वेदेषु गोषु विप्रेषु साधुषु ।
धर्मे मयि च विद्वेषः स वा आशु विनश्यति ॥२७॥

yadÄ deveá¹£u vedeá¹£u
goá¹£u vipreá¹£u sÄdhuá¹£u
dharme mayi ca vidveṣaḥ
sa vÄ ÄÅ›u vinaÅ›yati

 yadÄ - when; deveá¹£u - unto the demigods; vedeá¹£u - unto the Vedic scriptures; goá¹£u - unto the cows; vipreá¹£u - unto the brÄhmaṇas; sÄdhuá¹£u - unto the saintly persons; dharme - unto religious principles; mayi - unto Me, the Supreme Personality of Godhead; ca - and; vidveá¹£aḥ - envious; saḥ - such a person; vai - indeed; ÄÅ›u - very soon; vinaÅ›yati - is vanquished.


Text

When one is envious of the demigods, who represent the Supreme Personality of Godhead, of the Vedas, which give all knowledge, of the cows, brÄhmaṇas, Vaiṣṇavas and religious principles, and ultimately of Me, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he and his civilization will be vanquished without delay.
