• dharma - vyatikramaḥ — transgression of dharma
  Compound: dharma + vyatikrama (overstepping). Stronger than mere adharma — a violation in motion, an active crossing of the line. The women's diagnosis is clinical.
• samuttiṣṭhet — should rise up
  Optative of sam + ud + √sthā. The same verb of rising that names dawn and resurrection — used here for the rising of adharma. The Bhāgavatam will not let the reader forget that evil also has its sunrise.
• na stheyam — one should not stay
  Gerundive of √sthā with negation. The Smṛti rule: in a place where dharma is openly transgressed, a saintly person leaves. Gauḍīyas extend this to mental association — do not 'stay' in thoughts where adharma rises.
• karhicit — ever, at any time
  Indeclinable. The absoluteness of the prohibition — not 'usually not', but 'never'. The women's voice has the tone of a śāstric ruling, though they are merely housewives at the rim of a wrestling arena.

Where adharma rises, the women say, one should not stay even for a moment — like a guest who, smelling smoke under the floor, does not first finish his meal but stands and walks out. Their counsel is not strategy; it is the body's instinct that a Vaiṣṇava lives by.
