ततः कालेन पृथिवी पीड्यमाना दुरात्मभि:
Translation
Kemudian, apabila masa berlalu, bumi ditindas oleh manusia berhati jahat melalui perbuatan zalim mereka. Akibat terbaliknya tatanan itu, bumi segera seakan-akan tenggelam ke Rasātala, kerana pada waktu itu para kṣatriya—penjaga dharma—tidak melindunginya menurut aturan yang ditetapkan.
