Description of the Māhātmya of Gokarṇeśvara and Jaleśvara (Śaileśvara) in the Śleṣmātaka Forest
तदा स देशो भविता सर्वम्लेच्छैरधिष्ठितः ॥ ततोऽन्ये सूर्यवंशीया क्षत्रियास्तान्निहत्य च ॥
tadā sa deśo bhavitā sarvamlecchair adhiṣṭhitaḥ | tato ’nye sūryavaṁśīyāḥ kṣatriyās tān nihatya ca ||
उसके बाद वो देश म्लेच्छों का हो जाएगा। फिर सूर्यवंशी क्षत्रिय आएंगे और उनको मार कर देश वापस ले लेंगे।

Rather than a prescriptive ethic, the verse functions as narrative forecasting; ethically, it invites careful, non-anachronistic reading of group labels.
