महाकाल उवाच । आद्यं कृतयुगं विद्धिततस्त्रेतायुगं स्मृतम् । द्वापरं च कलिश्चेति चत्वारश्च समासतः
mahākāla uvāca | ādyaṃ kṛtayugaṃ viddhitatastretāyugaṃ smṛtam | dvāparaṃ ca kaliśceti catvāraśca samāsataḥ
Mahākāla dạy: “Hãy biết yuga đầu tiên là Kṛta; sau đó được nhớ đến là Tretā; rồi Dvāpara và Kali—tóm lược là bốn yuga như thế.”
Mahākāla
Listener: Karaṃdhama
Scene: Mahākāla enumerates the four yugas as a concise teaching; visualized as four panels or a single wheel segmented into Kṛta, Tretā, Dvāpara, Kali.
Dharma is taught with awareness of time; the yugas form a sacred framework for understanding changing spiritual conditions.
No specific site is mentioned; the focus is cosmological classification.
None; it defines the four yugas in sequence.
