Opening

हा मातस्तात पुत्रेति तास्ता वाच: सुदारुणा: । विक्रोशमानान्‌ सुभृशं दस्यून्‌ नेष्यति संक्षयम्‌,उस समय चोर और लुटेरे दर्दभरी वाणीमें “हाय मैया”, “हाय बप्पा” और “हाय बेटा' इत्यादि कहकर जोर-जोरसे चीत्कार करेंगे और उन सबका भगवान्‌ कल्‍की विनाश कर डालेंगे। भारत! दस्युओंके नष्ट हो जानेपर अधर्मका भी नाश हो जायगा और धर्मकी वृद्धि होने लगेगी। इस प्रकार सत्ययुग आ जानेपर सब मनुष्य सत्यकर्मपरायण होंगे

hā mātas tāta putreti tāstā vācaḥ sudāruṇāḥ | vikrośamānān subhṛśaṃ dasyūn neṣyati saṃkṣayam ||

Sinabi ni Mārkaṇḍeya: “Sa sukdulang paghihirap, ang mga tulisan at mandarambong ay iiyak at sisigaw nang malakas sa mga kaawa-awang pananalita—‘Ay, ina!’ ‘Ay, ama!’ ‘Ay, anak ko!’—at pagkatapos, (ang Panginoon) na si Kalki ay magdadala sa mga salarin na iyon sa ganap na pagkapuksa. O Bhārata, kapag nalipol ang mga dasyu, mapuputol din ang adharma at magsisimulang lumago ang dharma. Kaya, pagbalik ng panahon ng katotohanan, ang mga tao’y magiging tapat sa matuwid at makatarungang gawain.”

Educational Q&A

The verse frames social collapse (lawless banditry) as a symptom of adharma, and teaches that the restoration of dharma requires the removal of predatory forces; once adharma is checked, truthful and righteous conduct can flourish again.

Mārkaṇḍeya describes a future time of turmoil when marauders cry out in terror and grief; a divinely empowered figure, Kalki, destroys them, after which adharma declines and dharma grows, ushering in a renewed age of truth.
