# SB 7.11.13 > संस्कारा यत्राविच्छिन्नाः स द्विजोऽजो जगाद यम > इज्याध्ययनदानानि विहितानि द्विजन्मनाम > जन्मकर्मावदातानां क्रियाश्चाश्रमचोदिताः ॥१३॥ ## Text > saṁskārā yatrāvicchinnāḥ > sa dvijo 'jo jagāda yam > ijyādhyayana-dānāni > vihitāni dvijanmanām > janma-karmāvadātānāṁ > kriyāś cāśrama-coditāḥ ## Synonyms *saṁskārāḥ*—reformatory processes; *yatra*—wherein; *avicchinnāḥ*—without interruption; *saḥ*—such a person; *dvi-jaḥ*—twice-born; *ajaḥ*—Lord Brahmā; *jagāda*—sanctioned; *yam*—who; *ijyā*—worshiping; *adhyayana*—studies of the *Vedas*; *dānāni*—and charity; *vihitāni*—prescribed; *dvi-janmanām*—of persons who are called twice-born; *janma*—by birth; *karma*—and activities; *avadātānām*—who are purified; *kriyāḥ*—activities; *ca*—also; *āśrama-coditāḥ*—recommended for the four *āśramas.* ## Translation **Those who have been reformed by the garbhādhāna ceremony and other prescribed reformatory methods, performed with Vedic mantras and without interruption, and who have been approved by Lord Brahmā, are dvijas, or twice-born. Such brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas and vaiśyas, purified by their family traditions and by their behavior, should worship the Lord, study the Vedas and give charity. In this system, they should follow the principles of the four āśramas [brahmacarya, gṛhastha, vānaprastha and sannyāsa].** ## Purport After giving a general list of thirty qualifications for one's behavior, Nārada Muni now describes the principles of the four *varṇas* and four *āśramas.* A human being must be trained in the above-mentioned thirty qualities; otherwise, he is not even a human being. Then, among such qualified persons, the *varṇāśrama* process should be introduced. In the *varṇāśrama* system, the first ceremony for purification is *garbhādhāna,* which is performed with *mantras* at the time of sex for propagating a good child. One who uses sex life not for sensual pleasures but only to beget children according to the reformatory method is also accepted as a *brahmacārī.* One should not waste semen on sensual pleasure, violating the principles of Vedic life. Restraint in sex is possible, however, only when the populace is trained in the above-mentioned thirty qualities; otherwise, it is not possible. Even if one is born in a family of *dvijas,* or twice-born, if they have not followed the reformatory process he is called a *dvija-bandhu*—not one of the twice-born, but a friend of the twice-born. The whole purpose of this system is to create good population. As stated in *Bhagavad-gītā,* when women are polluted the populace is *varṇa-saṅkara,* and when the *varṇa-saṅkara* population increases, the situation of the entire world becomes hellish. Therefore, all the Vedic literatures strongly warn against creating *varṇa-saṅkara* population. When there is *varṇa-saṅkara* population, the people cannot be properly controlled for peace and prosperity, regardless of great legislative assemblies, parliaments and similar bodies.
