SB 8.16.4
apy abhadram na vipranam
bhadre loke ’dhunagatam
na dharmasya na lokasya
mrtyos chandanuvartinah
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
O most gentle one, I wonder whether anything inauspicious has now taken place in regard to religious principles, the brahmanas or the people in general, who are subject to the whims of death.
Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
There are prescribed duties for all the inhabitants of this material world, especially for the brahmanas but also for the people in general, who are subject to the whims of death. Kasyapa Muni wondered whether the regulative principles, which are meant for the well-being of everyone, had been disobeyed. He accordingly continued his inquiries for seven verses.
