आत्मदर्शन-उपदेशः (Ātma-darśana Upadeśa) — Mind, Senses, and the All-pervading Self

अन्य युगोंमें शास्त्रोक्त धर्मका क्रमश: एक-एक चरण क्षीण होता जाता है और चोरी, असत्य तथा छल-कपट आदिके द्वारा अधर्मकी वृद्धि होने लगती है ।। अरोगा: सर्वसिद्धार्थ श्चितुर्वर्षशतायुष: । कृते त्रेतायुगे त्वेषां पादशो हसते वय:,सत्ययुगके मनुष्य नीरोग होते हैं। उनकी सम्पूर्ण कामनाएँ सिद्ध होती हैं तथा वे चार सौ वर्षोकी आयुवाले होते हैं। त्रेतायुग आनेपर उनकी आयु एक चौथाई घटकर तीन सौ वर्षोकी रह जाती है। इसी प्रकार द्वापरमें दो सौ और कलियुगमें सौ वर्षोकी आयु होती है

anye yugeṣu śāstroktasya dharmasya kramaśa ekaikaḥ pādaḥ kṣīyate, cauryānṛta-chala-kapaṭādibhiś cādharmasya vṛddhir bhavati. arogāḥ sarva-siddhārthāś catur-varṣa-śatāyuṣaḥ kṛte; tretā-yuge tv eṣāṃ pādaśo hrasate vayaḥ.

Vyāsa explains that as the world moves through successive ages, the scripturally enjoined order of dharma loses its supports one by one. With the spread of theft, falsehood, and deceit, adharma correspondingly grows. In the Kṛta (Satya) age, people are free from disease, their aims are fulfilled, and they live for four hundred years; when the Tretā age arrives, their lifespan diminishes by a quarter, and so it continues to decline in the later ages.
