Such attacking people may be descendants of Brahmin or Kshatriya forefathers but in the age of Kali for want of sufficient education and culture of Vedic wisdom, such Sudra-like population will defy the principles of religion and persons who are religiously endowed will be terrified by such Sudra class of men. They will declare themselves belonging to no religious principles and many 'isms' and 'cults' will spring up in the Kali Yuga only for killing the spotless bull of religiosity. The state will be declared as secular or without any particular principle of religion and as a result of this there will be total indifference to the principles of religion, the citizens will be free to act as they like without any respect for Sadhu, Sastra and Guru. The bull was standing on one leg means that the principles of religiosity are gradually being diminished or practically without any standing and even that fragmental existence of religious principles would be embarrased by so many obstacles as if in the trembling condition of falling down at any time. #/div# #/div# please wait#div class="mw-parser-output"##p class="mw-empty-elt"# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TEXT_2"#TEXT 2#/span##/h4# #div class="verse"# #dl##dd#vṛṣaṁ mṛṇāla-dhavalaṁ#/dd# #dd#mehantam iva bibhyatam#/dd# #dd#vepamānaṁ padaikena#/dd# #dd#sīdantaṁ śūdra-tāḍitam#/dd##/dl# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="SYNONYMS"#SYNONYMS#/span##/h4# #div class="synonyms"# #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=vṛṣam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#vṛṣam#/i# — the bull; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=mṛṇāla&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#mṛṇāla-#a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=dhavalam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#dhavalam#/i# — as white as a white lotus; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=mehantam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#mehantam#/i# — urinating; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=iva&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#iva#/i# — as if; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=bibhyatam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#bibhyatam#/i# — being too afraid; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=vepamānam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#vepamānam#/i# — trembling; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=padā&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#padā #a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=ekena&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#ekena#/i# — standing on only one leg; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=sīdantam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#sīdantam#/i# — terrified; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=śūdra&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#śūdra-#a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=tāḍitam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#tāḍitam#/i# — being beaten by a śūdra. #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TRANSLATION"#TRANSLATION#/span##/h4# #div class="translation"# The bull was as white as a white lotus flower.
