Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 4 - Chapter 1 - Verse 33


Sanskrit:

को वैनं परिचक्षीत वेनमेकमृतेऽशुभम् ।प्राप्त ईद‍ृशमैश्वर्यं यदनुग्रहभाजन: ॥ ३३ ॥

ITRANS:

ko vainaṁ paricakṣītavenam ekam ṛte ’śubhamprāpta īdṛśam aiśvaryaṁyad-anugraha-bhājanaḥ

Translation:

But for King Vena, who is simply inauspicious, who would blaspheme the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by whose mercy one is awarded all kinds of fortune and opulence?

Purport:

When human society individually or collectively becomes godless and blasphemes the authority of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, it is certainly destined for ruination. Such a civilization invites all kinds of bad fortune due to not appreciating the mercy of the Lord.
