Indradyumna Upākhyāna: On Kīrti, Smṛti, and Restoration

Devanagari script

एवं पर्याकुले लोके मर्यादा न भविष्यति । न स्थास्यन्त्युपदेशे च शिष्या विप्रियकारिण:,इस तरह उथल-पुथल मच जानेपर संसारमें कोई मर्यादा नहीं रह जायगी। शिष्य गुरुके उपदेशपर नहीं चलेंगे। वे उलटे उनका अहित करेंगे

Transliteration

evaṁ paryākule loke maryādā na bhaviṣyati | na sthāsyanty upadeśe ca śiṣyā vipriyakāriṇaḥ ||

Translation

Khi thế gian bị đảo điên như vậy, mọi khuôn phép sẽ không còn. Đệ tử sẽ chẳng còn thuận theo lời dạy của thầy; trái lại, họ làm điều nghịch ý, gây tổn hại và khiến chính bậc dẫn đường của mình phải đau lòng.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Social and moral order (maryādā) depends on respect for rightful instruction and discipline. When society becomes agitated and confused, the guru–śiṣya bond collapses: students stop following guidance and even act in ways that harm their teachers, signaling a broader decline of dharma.

What is happening in the narrative?

Mārkaṇḍeya is describing the consequences of a world plunged into upheaval: established norms will not hold, and even the traditional relationship of disciples adhering to a teacher’s counsel will break down, with students becoming contrary and harmful.
