Shloka 12
Hanūmān’s Embrace, Counsel, and Promise to Amplify Bhīma’s Battle-Roar
Gandhamādana Continuation
Devanagari script
न तत्र धर्मा: सीदन्ति क्षीयन्ते न च वै प्रजा: । ततः कृतयुगं नाम कालेन गुणतां गतम्,उस समय धर्मका हास नहीं होता था। प्रजाका अर्थात् (माता-पिताके रहते हुए) संतानका नाश नहीं होता था। तदनन्तर कालक्रमसे उसमें गौणता आ गयी
Transliteration
na tatra dharmāḥ sīdanti kṣīyante na ca vai prajāḥ | tataḥ kṛtayugaṃ nāma kālena guṇatāṃ gatam ||
Translation
Bhīma said: “In that age, dharmas did not decline, nor did the people waste away; and children did not perish while their parents yet lived. But afterward, as time moved on, that era called the Kṛta Yuga lost its full excellence and became secondary in quality.”
