Earth loose it's blameless identity by
bearing those aren’t renowned

Vizhiyappan's Commentary: The peerless earth will loose it’s identity of blameless and ultimately beneficial, by bearing the body of those who live without renown.

(Likewise...)

The unparalleled democracy will deviate from it’s stance of guarding the public welfare without evil, by supporting the reign of those who rule without justice.
