Sanskrit
दोषैरेतैः कुलघ्नानां वर्णसङ्करकारकैः । उत्साद्यन्ते जातिधर्माः कुलधर्माश्च शाश्वताः ॥
doṣair etaiḥ kulaghnānāṃ varṇasaṅkarakārakaiḥ utsādyante jātidharmāḥ kuladharmāś ca śāśvatāḥ
Translation
By these caste-confusing misdeeds of the slayers of the family, the everlasting caste customs and family customs are abolished.
Annie Besant · The Bhagavad-Gita, translated by Annie Besant (4th ed., 1922) — Wikisource · Public Domain
Explanation
A summary line restating verses 40–42’s chain in a single claim: the family’s destruction abolishes customs described here as everlasting. Arjuna is building toward the strongest possible conclusion before stating it directly in verse 44.
