व्यासशिष्योत्पत्तिवर्णन (Origins/Enumeration of Vyāsa’s Disciplic Succession) — Chapter on Vedic Transmission Lineages
निरानन्दे चापि लोके नष्टे स्थावरजङ्गमे / अग्रामनगरे चैव वर्णाश्रमविवर्जिते
nirānande cāpi loke naṣṭe sthāvarajaṅgame / agrāmanagare caiva varṇāśramavivarjite
When the world becomes joyless, when all the immobile and the moving are destroyed, when there are no villages or cities, and when the dharma of varṇa and āśrama is absent.
