kāma-rāga-vivarjitam
dharmāviruddho bhūteṣu
kāmo ’smi bharatarṣabha

balam – strength; bala-vatām – of the strong; ca – and; aham – I am; kāma – passion; rāga – and attachment; vivarjitam – devoid of; dharma-aviruddhaḥ – not against religious principles; bhūteṣu – in all beings; kāmaḥ – sex life; asmi – I am; bharata-ṛṣabha – O lord of the Bhāratas.

I am the strength of the strong, devoid of passion and desire. I am sex life which is not contrary to religious principles, O lord of the Bhāratas [Arjuna].

The strong man’s strength should be applied to protect the weak, not for personal aggression. Similarly, sex life, according to religious principles (dharma), should be for the propagation of children, not otherwise. The responsibility of parents is then to make their offspring Kṛṣṇa conscious.
