मौसलोत्पत्तिः — The Birth of the Musala and the Sages’ Pronouncement
गुरूंश्चाप्पवमन्यन्ते न तु रामजनार्दनौ । पत्न्य: पतीनुच्चरन्त पत्नीक्ष पतयस्तथा,इतना ही नहीं, वे गुरुजनोंका भी अपमान करते थे। केवल बलराम और श्रीकृष्णका ही तिरस्कार नहीं करते थे। पत्नियाँ पतियोंको और पति अपनी पत्नियोंको धोखा देने लगे
gurūṁś cāpy avamanyante na tu rāma-janārdanau | patnyaḥ patīn uccaranti patnīkṣa patayas tathā ||
毗舍摩波耶那说道:他们甚至开始轻蔑长者与师长;然而却不敢侮辱婆罗罗摩与阇那尔达那(奎师那)。与此同时,家室之内的伦理也崩坏:妻子欺骗丈夫,丈夫也同样背叛妻子。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
When dharma declines, disrespect for elders and the collapse of marital fidelity appear as clear symptoms of social and ethical disintegration; reverence for rightful authority and integrity in family life are presented as pillars of order.
Vaiśampāyana describes worsening conduct among the people: they begin insulting even gurus and elders, though they still refrain from insulting Balarāma and Kṛṣṇa; at the same time, mutual betrayal spreads between spouses, signaling a broader moral collapse preceding calamity.
