Text 35] The Story of King Vena 609

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.
