kutumba-bharanena va

SYNONYMS
nidraya -- by sleeping; hriyate -- wastes; naktam -- night; vyavayena
-- sex indulgence; ca -- also; va -- either; vayah -- duration of
life; diva -- days; ca -- and; artha -- economic; ihaya --
development; rajan -- O King; kutumba -- family members; bharanena --

TRANSLATION
The lifetime of such an envious householder is passed at night either
in sleeping or in sex indulgence, and in the daytime either in making
money or maintaining family members.

PURPORT
The present human civilization is primarily based on the principles of
sleeping and sex indulgence at night and earning money in the day and
spending the same for family maintenance. Such a form of human
civilization is condemned by the Bhagavata school.
