यत्र षोडशमे वर्षे नराः पलित यौवनाः । तत्र द्वादशमे वर्षे गर्भं धास्यति चांगना
yatra ṣoḍaśame varṣe narāḥ palita yauvanāḥ | tatra dvādaśame varṣe garbhaṃ dhāsyati cāṃganā
В тот век мужчины уже в шестнадцать лет будут казаться седыми и постаревшими, хотя ещё юны; и женщина там зачнёт даже в двенадцать лет.

Type: kshetra
Scene: A youth with prematurely grey hair and tired eyes; nearby, a young girl with a protective maternal aura—symbolic, not erotic—indicating early conception; the sky carries a Kali-yuga pall.
Kali-yuga is marked by diminished vitality and disturbed social rhythms, signaling the need for stronger dharmic restraint.
No specific tīrtha is indicated; the verse continues the general description of Kali-yuga.
None; it describes symptoms of the age rather than prescribing a rite.
