कर्मणा क्षत्रियाश्चैते निर्घृणा भोगिभोजिनः । ज्ञातिसंक्षयकर्तृत्वाद्ब्राह्मण्यं न लभन्ति वै॥५-९९-६॥

By their conduct these are kṣatriyas—unsparing, and consumers of serpent-kind. Because they bring about the depletion of their kin-groups, they do not attain brāhmaṇa status.

english translation

नामानि चैषां वक्ष्यामि यथा प्राधान्यतः शृणु । मातले श्लाघ्यमेतद्धि कुलं विष्णुपरिग्रहम्॥५-९९-७॥

I shall state their names in order of prominence—listen, O Mātali. For this lineage is indeed praiseworthy, being under the protection of Viṣṇu.

english translation

दैवतं विष्णुरेतेषां विष्णुरेव परायणम् । हृदि चैषां सदा विष्णुर्विष्णुरेव गतिः सदा॥५-९९-८॥

For these beings, Viṣṇu is the presiding divinity; Viṣṇu alone is their supreme refuge. In their hearts Viṣṇu is ever present, and Viṣṇu alone is always their final course and destination.

english translation
