Shloka 93
Adhyaya 40: Kali-yuga Lakshana, Yuga-sandhyamsha, and the Re-emergence of Dharma
Devanagari script
यथा युगानां परिवर्तनानि चिरप्रवृत्तानि युगस्वभावात् तथा तु संतिष्ठति जीवलोकः क्षयोदयाभ्यां परिवर्तमानः
Transliteration
yathā yugānāṃ parivartanāni cirapravṛttāni yugasvabhāvāt tathā tu saṃtiṣṭhati jīvalokaḥ kṣayodayābhyāṃ parivartamānaḥ
Translation
De même que les transitions des yuga, établies de longue date, se déroulent selon la nature propre de chaque âge, de même le monde des êtres incarnés demeure, tournant sans cesse entre déclin et essor. Ainsi le pashu (l’âme individuelle) chemine dans le saṃsāra sous la rotation du temps, jusqu’à prendre refuge en Pati, Śiva, le seul au-delà de l’accroissement et de la ruine.
