yugadharme parāvṛtte kāle ca śithile prabhuḥ / karttuṃ dharmavyavasthānaṃ jāyate mānuṣeṣviha / bhṛgoḥ śāpanimittena devāsurakṛtena ca
Translation
When the dharma of the age turns aside and time grows slack, the Lord is born among humans to re-establish the order of dharma—through the occasion of Bhrigu’s curse and also through what was wrought by gods and asuras.
