तदा तु सर्वभूतानां कायक्लेशवशात्क्रमात् लोभो भृतिर्वणिग्युद्धं तत्त्वानामविनिश्चयः
Transliteration
tadā tu sarvabhūtānāṃ kāyakleśavaśātkramāt lobho bhṛtirvaṇigyuddhaṃ tattvānāmaviniścayaḥ
Translation
Pada waktu itu, bagi semua makhluk, apabila penderitaan jasmani beransur-ansur menguasai, lahirlah ketamakan; sara hidup menjadi beban; para pedagang beralih kepada pertikaian; dan kepastian tentang prinsip-prinsip sejati (tattva) pun lenyap—maka ikatan (pāśa) semakin mengetat di sekeliling pashu (jiwa individu) ketika tiada pengetahuan yang benar.
