तत्रैकपादयुक्तश्च धर्मः पापं त्रिभिः स्मृतम् । पूर्वार्धेभ्यः परं सर्वं संभविष्यति पात कम्
tatraikapādayuktaśca dharmaḥ pāpaṃ tribhiḥ smṛtam | pūrvārdhebhyaḥ paraṃ sarvaṃ saṃbhaviṣyati pāta kam
En esa era, el dharma se sostiene sólo sobre un pie, mientras que el pecado, se dice, prevalece con tres. En comparación con las edades anteriores, lo que sigue se inclinará en gran medida hacia la caída y la mala acción.
Unspecified narrator (within Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya dialogue context)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Allegorical tableau: Dharma as a bull standing on one leg, shadowed by three looming forms of pāpa; the horizon darkens, suggesting the onset of Kali-yuga.
In Kali-yuga righteousness diminishes and sin predominates, so one must consciously uphold dharma.
No particular tīrtha is mentioned; the verse states a general yuga-dharma principle within a tīrtha-māhātmya discourse.
None explicitly; it describes the moral condition of the age rather than a specific rite.
