Shloka 37
Hanūmān’s Embrace, Counsel, and Promise to Amplify Bhīma’s Battle-Roar
Gandhamādana Continuation
लोके क्षीणे क्षयं यान्ति भावा लोकप्रवर्तका: । युगक्षयकृता धर्माः प्रार्थनानि विकुर्वते,लोकके क्षीण होनेपर उसके प्रवर्तक भावोंका भी क्षय हो जाता है। युग-क्षयजनित धर्म मनुष्यकी अभीष्ट कामनाओंके विपरीत फल देते हैं
loke kṣīṇe kṣayaṁ yānti bhāvā lokapravartakāḥ | yugakṣayakṛtā dharmāḥ prārthanāni vikurvate ||
当世界衰败之时，推动社会运转的诸般冲动与性情也随之枯竭。及至一劫将尽，由衰败所塑成的达摩形态便扭曲人之所愿——所赐之果，反与所求相违。
भीम उवाच
Educational Q&A
Bhīma observes that in times of societal decline, the inner motives that sustain order weaken, and age-conditioned ‘dharma’ can become corrupted—so that actions and prayers no longer yield fitting results but instead produce outcomes opposite to one’s intentions.
In Bhīma’s speech, he reflects on the degeneration of the age: as the world’s vitality diminishes, the forces that guide people toward proper conduct fade, and distorted norms arise that frustrate human aims.
