Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 6 - Chapter 1 - Verse 12


Sanskrit:

न वेद धर्मं किल पद्मयोनि-र्न ब्रह्मपुत्रा भृगुनारदाद्या: ।न वै कुमार: कपिलो मनुश्चये नो निषेधन्त्यतिवर्तिनं हरम् ॥ १२ ॥

ITRANS:

na veda dharmaṁ kila padmayonirna brahma-putrā bhṛgu-nāradādyāḥna vai kumāraḥ kapilo manuś caye no niṣedhanty ati-vartinaṁ haram

Translation:

Alas, Lord Brahmā, who has taken his birth from the lotus flower, does not know the principles of religion, nor do the great saints like Bhṛgu and Nārada, nor the four Kumāras, headed by Sanat-kumāra. Manu and Kapila have also forgotten the religious principles. I suppose it to be because of this that they have not tried to stop Lord Śiva from behaving improperly.

Purport:
