Adhyaya 40: Kali-yuga Lakshana, Yuga-sandhyamsha, and the Re-emergence of Dharma

Devanagari script

उपद्रवांस्तथान्योन्यं साधयन्ति तदा प्रजाः दुःखप्रभूतमल्पायुर् देहोत्सादः सरोगता

Transliteration

upadravāṃstathānyonyaṃ sādhayanti tadā prajāḥ duḥkhaprabhūtamalpāyur dehotsādaḥ sarogatā

Translation

Então os seres voltam-se uns contra os outros e fazem recair calamidades entre si. A vida torna-se breve, o sofrimento se multiplica, os corpos declinam e a doença se espalha—são os laços do pāśa que se apertam sobre o paśu quando o dharma mingua, até que se busque refúgio em Pati, o Senhor Śiva.
