Indradyumna Upākhyāna: On Kīrti, Smṛti, and Restoration

क्रमश: संश्रयिष्यन्ति युगान्ते पर्युपस्थिते । हा तात हा सुतेत्येवं तदा वाच: सुदारुणा:,प्रायः लोग स्वदेश छोड़कर दूसरे देशों, दिशाओं, नगरों और गाँवोंका आश्रय लेंगे और हा तात! हा पुत्र! इत्यादि रूपसे अत्यन्त दुःखद वाणीमें एक-दूसरेको पुकारते हुए इस पृथ्वीपर विचरेंगे। युगान्तकालमें संसारकी यही दशा होगी। उस समय एक ही साथ समस्त लोकोंका भयंकर संहार होगा

kramaśaḥ saṁśrayiṣyanti yugānte paryupasthite | hā tāta hā sutety evaṁ tadā vācaḥ sudāruṇāḥ ||

马尔坎ḍेय说道:“当劫末将至之时,人们将渐次另寻庇护——离弃本乡本土,投奔他方诸域、诸方、城邑与村落。那时,他们以极度悲恸之声彼此呼号:‘哀哉,父亲!哀哉,我子!’遂在大地上流离徘徊。此即劫终之世相;届时,骇人的毁灭将一举降临于一切众生与万民。”

मार्कण्डेय उवाच

M
Mārkaṇḍeya

Educational Q&A

The verse underscores the overwhelming power of Time (kāla) at the end of an age: social order collapses, people abandon their homes seeking safety, and familial bonds surface as cries of grief—highlighting impermanence and the fragility of worldly security.

Mārkaṇḍeya describes a yugānta scenario: widespread flight and wandering as people seek refuge, calling out in anguish for lost family members, culminating in a simultaneous, terrifying destruction affecting all communities.
