Simple Translation

Oh krishNa who is born in vrshNi clan! As unrighteousness covers (the clan) family-women become spoiled. When the family-women become corrupt, intermingling of varNas occurs.

Rendering based on ALkoNdavilli gOvindhAchArya swAmy’s English translation of gIthA bhAshyam

When unrighteousness holds sway, Kṛishṇa[3. The 58th and 554th name of God…]! the family-women become scandalized. And when women become evil, Vārshṇeya[4. A name of Kṛishṇa being a descendant of the race called Vṛishṇi…]! the result is the intermingling of castes.
