Paraśurāma’s origins and the depletion/restoration of kṣatriya lineages

Devanagari script

ततः कालेन पृथिवी पीड्यमाना दुरात्मभि:

Translation

Kemudian, seiring berjalannya waktu, Bumi pun tertindas oleh kekejaman manusia-manusia berhati jahat. Karena adharma kian menguat, ia segera condong menuju kebinasaan; sebab para kṣatriya—penjaga dharma—tidak melindunginya menurut ketentuan yang semestinya.
