"I heard, while dwelling in the thigh, on the bed of the embryo, the wailing of the host of mothers at the slaying of the Bhrigus by the kshatriyas. When the worlds together with the gods permitted the base kshatriyas to exterminate the Bhrigus down to the unborn, then anger seized me."

Here Aurva points to the source of his anger -- an evil deed permitted by the world. Telling is his charge not only against the killers but against "the worlds together with the gods" who permitted it: he holds indifference to evil as blameworthy as the evil itself. Thus indifference to a crime is declared to be itself complicity: whoever silently watches the slaughter of the innocent shares the guilt. So the scripture shows the gravity of inaction before evil; and Aurva's anger turns not only upon the killers but upon the indifferent world.
