Devanagari script
अन्यथा जीवितं तासां नास्ति त्रेतायुगात्यये हस्तोद्भवा ह्यपश्चैव भवन्ति बहुशस्तदा
Transliteration
anyathā jīvitaṃ tāsāṃ nāsti tretāyugātyaye hastodbhavā hyapaścaiva bhavanti bahuśastadā
Translation
Jika tidak demikian, pada akhir Tretā-yuga tidak ada kelangsungan hidup bagi mereka. Saat itu berulang kali banyak makhluk ‘lahir dari tangan’ muncul, dan bahkan yang bukan ‘paśu’—yakni tidak layak bagi tatanan yajña—pun terlahir.
