Hanūmān’s Embrace, Counsel, and Promise to Amplify Bhīma’s Battle-Roar

Gandhamādana Continuation

हनूमानुवाच कृतं नाम युगं तात यत्र धर्म: सनातन: । कृतमेव न कर्तव्यं तस्मिन्‌ काले युगोत्तमे,हनुमानजी बोले--तात! सबसे पहला कृतयुग है। उसमें सनातनधर्मकी पूर्ण स्थिति रहती है। उसका कृतयुग नाम इसलिये पड़ा है कि उस उत्तम युगके लोग अपना सब कर्तव्यकर्म सम्पन्न ही कर लेते थे। उनके लिये कुछ करना शेष नहीं रहता था (अतः “कृतम्‌ एव सर्व शुभं यस्मिन्‌ युगे” इस व्युत्पत्तिक अनुसार वह “कृतयुग” कहलाया)

Hanūmān uvāca: kṛtaṃ nāma yugaṃ tāta yatra dharmaḥ sanātanaḥ | kṛtam eva na kartavyaṃ tasmin kāle yugottame ||

Hanuman said: “Dear one, the earliest age is called the Kṛta Yuga, where the eternal Dharma stands in its full strength. In that supreme age everything that ought to be done was already accomplished; no duty remained undone—therefore it is called ‘Kṛta’, the ‘completed’ age.”
