Dharma-vyādha’s Analysis of Moral Decline and the Mahābhūta–Guṇa Schema (धर्मव्याधोपदेशः)

यमलोकस्य चाध्वानमन्तरं मानुषस्य च । कीदृशं किम्प्रमाणं वा कथं वा तन्महामुने । तरन्ति पुरुषाश्वैव केनोपायेन शंस मे,“महामुने! इस मनुष्यलोकसे यमलोक कितनी दूर है, कैसा है, कितना बड़ा है? और किस उपायसे मनुष्य वहाँके संकटोंसे पार हो सकते हैं? ये मुझे बतलाइये”

“മഹാമുനേ! ഈ മനുഷ്യലോകത്തിൽ നിന്ന് യമലോകം എത്ര ദൂരമാണ്? അത് എങ്ങനെയുള്ളത്, എത്ര വിപുലമാണ്? പിന്നെ ഏത് ഉപായത്തിലൂടെ മനുഷ്യർ അവിടെയുള്ള ദുരിതങ്ങൾ കടന്നുപോകാൻ കഴിയും? എനിക്ക് പറഞ്ഞുതരണമേ.”
