Translation
Zur Zeit des Yugānta, wenn nur ein kleiner Rest von Wesen verbleibt, werden die Menschen hier und dort ohne Selbstzucht; dann, ganz von Gier ergriffen, handeln sie ohne innere Führung. In diesem durch pasha gebundenen Wirrsal vergisst der pashu (die Seele) den Pati (Śiva) und wird von den Fesseln des Begehrens getrieben.
