# Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1 Chapter 9 Text 12

**[Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Canto 1 Chapter 9 Text 12](http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/1/9/12)**

 

*
aho kaṣṭam aho ’nyāyyaṁ
yad yūyaṁ dharma-nandanāḥ
jīvituṁ nārhatha kliṣṭaṁ
vipra-dharmācyutāśrayāḥ
* 

TRANSLATION
Bhīṣmadeva said: Oh, what terrible sufferings and what terrible injustices you good souls suffer for being the sons of religion personified. You did not deserve to remain alive under those tribulations, yet you were protected by the brāhmaṇas, God and religion.
