ENGLISH SYNONYMS
Yas—on account of, Tam—you the rogue, Krishne—Lord Krishna, Gate—having gone away, Duh—out of sight, Sarama—along with, Gandiva—the bow of the name, Dhanwana—the carrier, Sochya—culprit, Asi—you stand to be, Asochyan—innocent, Rahasi—in a secluded place, Praharan—beating, Badham—being killed, Arhasi—deserve.
TRANSLATION
You rogue do you dare to beat an innocent cow on account of Lord Krishna's and Arjuna's, the carrier of Gandibha bow, being out of sight ? As you are beating the innocent in a secluded place, you stand to be a culprit and therefore deserve to be killed.
PURPORT
In a civilization where God is conspicuously banished and there is no devotee warrior like Arjuna, the associates of the age of Kali take advantage of this lawless kingdom and arrange for killing innocent animals like the cow in secluded slaughter houses. Such murderers of animals in secluded slaughter houses, stand to be condemned to death by the order of a pious king like Maharaj Parikshit. For a pious king like Maharaj Parikshit the culprit, who kills an animal in a secluded place, is equally punishable by death-penalty exactly like a murderer who kills an innocent child in a secluded place.
