Shloka 34
कृतयुगवर्णनम् तथा राजधर्मोपदेशः
Kṛtayuga Description and Instruction on Royal Dharma
विपरीते तदा लोके पूर्वरूपं क्षयस्य तत् । बहवो म्लेच्छराजान: पृथिव्यां मनुजाधिप
viparīte tadā loke pūrvarūpaṁ kṣayasya tat | bahavo mleccharājānaḥ pṛthivyāṁ manujādhipa ||
Vaiśampāyana dijo: «Cuando la visión y la conducta del mundo se invierten —cuando los hombres se apartan del orden recto— eso mismo es el presagio de la destrucción. En tal tiempo, oh señor de los hombres, muchos reyes mleccha llegan a gobernar la tierra.»
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
When collective thought and behavior turn contrary to dharma, it signals impending societal decline; unrighteous or culturally alienated rule is presented as a symptom of that inversion.
Vaiśampāyana describes ominous portents of degeneration: as people’s conduct becomes perverse, the world moves toward dissolution, and many mleccha rulers rise to power on earth.
