Adhyaya 40: Kali-yuga Lakshana, Yuga-sandhyamsha, and the Re-emergence of Dharma

Devanagari script

एवं युगाद्युगस्येह संतानं तु परस्परम् वर्तते ह व्यवच्छेदाद् यावन्मन्वन्तरक्षयः

Transliteration

evaṃ yugādyugasyeha saṃtānaṃ tu parasparam vartate ha vyavacchedād yāvanmanvantarakṣayaḥ

Translation

Ainsi, en ce monde, la succession d’un yuga à l’autre se poursuit en enchaînement réciproque, avançant selon des divisions mesurées jusqu’à l’achèvement d’un Manvantara. Dans ce cours ordonné du temps, Pati—le Seigneur Śiva—demeure le fondement immuable, tandis que les paśu (les âmes) traversent des cycles récurrents sous les liens (pāśa) du karma.
