स्त्रीबालगोद्विजघ्नाश्च परदारधनाद‍ृता: ।उदितास्तमितप्राया अल्पसत्त्वाल्पकायुष: ॥ ३९ ॥असंस्कृता: क्रियाहीना रजसा तमसावृता: ।प्रजास्ते भक्षयिष्यन्ति म्‍लेच्छा राजन्यरूपिण: ॥ ४० ॥

ITRANS:

strī-bāla-go-dvija-ghnāś capara-dāra-dhanādṛtāḥuditāsta-mita-prāyāalpa-sattvālpakāyuṣaḥ

Translation:

These barbarians in the guise of kings will devour the citizenry, murdering innocent women, children, cows and brāhmaṇas and coveting the wives and property of other men. They will be erratic in their moods, have little strength of character and be very short-lived. Indeed, not purified by any Vedic rituals and lacking in the practice of regulative principles, they will be completely covered by the modes of passion and ignorance.

Purport:

These verses give a concise, accurate description of the fallen leaders of this age.
