Indradyumna Upākhyāna: On Kīrti, Smṛti, and Restoration
मही म्लेच्छजनाकीर्णा भविष्यति ततो<5चिरात् । करभारभयाद् विप्रा भजिष्यन्ति दिशो दश,सारी पृथ्वी थोड़े ही समयमें म्लेच्छोंसे भर जायगी। ब्राह्मणलोग करोंके भारसे भयभीत होकर दसों दिशाओंकी शरण लेंगे
māhī mlecchajanākīrṇā bhaviṣyati tato 'cirāt | karabhārabhayād viprā bhajiṣyanti diśo daśa ||
马尔坎德耶说道：“不久之后，大地将挤满了弥勒叉（mleccha，外族或非吠陀之民）。婆罗门惧怕苛税重负的压迫，必将离弃家园，向十方奔走求庇。”

Educational Q&A
The verse warns that when rulers impose oppressive taxation and fail to protect dharma, society destabilizes: the learned and dharma-oriented people are forced into flight, and the land becomes dominated by groups seen as outside the prevailing moral-ritual order.
Mārkaṇḍeya is describing future degeneration (a prophetic, Kali-age style forecast): the earth will soon be overrun by mlecchas, and brāhmaṇas, frightened by heavy taxes, will scatter in all directions seeking safety.
