Indradyumna Upākhyāna: On Kīrti, Smṛti, and Restoration

राजन्‌! सब लोग लोभके वशीभूत होंगे और ब्राह्मणोंका धन उपभोग करनेका जिनका स्वभाव पड़ गया है, वे धनके लिये ब्राह्मणोंको मार भी डालेंगे ।। हाहाकृता द्विजाश्वैव भयार्ता वृषलार्दिता: । त्रातारमलभन्तो वै भ्रमिष्यन्ति महीमिमाम्‌,शूद्रोंक सताये हुए ब्राह्मण भयसे पीड़ित हो हाहाकार करने लगेंगे और अपने लिये कोई रक्षक न मिलनेके कारण सारी पृथ्वीपर निश्चय ही भटकते फिरेंगे

rājan! sarve lokā lobhavaśībhūtā bhaviṣyanti, brāhmaṇānāṁ dhanaṁ bhoktuṁ yeṣāṁ svabhāvo jātaḥ te dhanārthaṁ brāhmaṇān api ghātayiṣyanti. hāhākṛtā dvijāś caiva bhayārtā vṛṣalārditāḥ | trātāram alabhanto vai bhramiṣyanti mahīm imām ||

Markandeya said: “O King, all people will fall under the sway of greed. Those whose habit has become to consume the wealth of Brahmins will, for the sake of money, even kill Brahmins. The twice-born, crying out in distress—tormented by śūdras and crushed by fear—finding no protector, will wander helplessly over this earth.”
