Translation
Mārkaṇḍeya said: “Through inauspicious deeds, marks of their evil karma—such as leprosy and the like—began to appear upon their bodies. Some were born into low families, some were beset by many diseases, and some became wicked in nature. None among them was possessed of splendor or might.”
