चतुर्युगाख्यान (Caturyuga-Ākhyāna) — Yuga-wise Origins and Measurements of Beings
इत्येष मानुषोत्सेधो ह्रसतीह युगांशके / सर्वेषु युगकालेषु अतीतानागतेष्विह
ityeṣa mānuṣotsedho hrasatīha yugāṃśake / sarveṣu yugakāleṣu atītānāgateṣviha
Thus the stature of humankind here diminishes according to the portions of the yugas, in all yuga-times—those past and those yet to come.
