PURPORT
The word ucchrnkhala, meaning "whimsical," is significant in this verse. In Bhagavad-gita (16.23), Lord Krsna Himself says:
yah sastra-vidhim utsrjya
vartate kama-karatah
na sa siddhim avapnoti
na sukham na param gatim
If one acts whimsically and does not follow the sastric principles, he will never attain perfection, happiness or the spiritual world.
