The subjects will follow the worst of religious obser¬ vances. No one will live beyond their twentythird year. They will be weak. They will be debilitated and fatigued due to sensuality. They will be overcome by (prema lure) old age. Their diet will consist of leaves, roots and fruits. Bark garments and deer skins will constitute their clothings. In search of livelihood they will be roaming over the earth. Towards the end of Kaliyuga, the people will come to such a plight.

हिन्दी अर्थ

पाथिवैश्व महाभागेः प्रार्थयदड्ूम ह्यशः । आदिराजा नससस्‍्काये: पृथुर्वेन्यः प्रतापवान्

English

When the Kali Age, the duration of which is a thousand divine years, comes to a close, the subjects will be annihilated along with the Kaliyuga. When it expires along with the period of junction, the Krta Age will come in. When the moon, the sun, Tisya and Jupiter come together in a single sign of zodiac, the Krta Age will set in. Thus the past, present and the future races have been enumerated in due order.

हिन्दी अर्थ

सूतजी बोले--यह समुद्र पर्यन्‍्त फैली हुई बसुन्धरा मेदिनी ( मेद--चंर्बी से उत्पन्न होने वाली ) इस नाम से विख्यात है । एवं बसु धन अथवा अन्न धारण करने के कारण यह वसुधा नाम से भी पुकारी जाती है ।१। पूवंकाल में यह मधु तथा वीटभ नामक दालवों की चर्बी से जाकीर्ण थी। यही कारण है कि समुद्र पयेल्त फंली हुई यह पृथ्वी मेदिनी नाम से विख्यात हुई। राजा प्रभु की पुत्री होने के कारण उसे पृथ्वी नाम से भी लोग पुकारते हैं। उस परम बुद्धिमानू राजा द्वारा वह वसुन्धरा प्रसिद्ध की गई, अनेक भागों में विभक्त की गई, शोभित की गई, विविध प्रकार के अन्नों और आकरों (खनि) से समन्वित की गई, बड़े-बड़े नगर-समूहों से संयुक्त की गई, ब्राह्मणादि चारों बर्णों के लोगों से भाकीणं की गई तथा रक्षित हुई ।२-४। राजाओं में श्रेष्ठ, वेन पुत्न॒ राजा प्रृथु इस प्रकार का अमित प्रभाव शाली सम्राट था। सभी जीव

English

From the time of the coronation of Mahadeva* (Mahapadma?) to the birth of Parlksit the duration was a thousand and fifty years. The period between Mahapadma and the future kings ending with Andhras whom I have narrated, has been calculated as eight hundred and thirtysix years by the learned sages, the knowers of Puranas. The stellar mansions are altogerher twentyseven. The Seven Sages stay in each of these, for hundred years in succession. This is remembered as the Yugaof the Seven Sages. The years are calculated according to those of the Devas.

हिन्दी अर्थ

समूह उसे नमस्कार करते थे, पूजा करते थे। वेद्दों एवं बेदाज्ों के पारगामी विद्वानू एवं महाभाग्यशाली ब्राह्मणों द्वारा नमस्कार करने योग्य एकमात्र राजा पृथु ही था क्योंकि बह ब्रह्म से समुदभृत था, तथा उसका प्रभाव कभी नष्ट होने वाला नहीं था । उस प्रतापश्ाली आदि राजा वेन पुत्र पृथु की परमभाग्यशालरी

English

(Defective verse) The hundred years of the Seven Sages are equal to sixty divine years and seven (divine) days. (?) The Seven Sages are seen in the east at first and then in the north of the zone of the constellations. Thereafter they arc seen parallel to those constellations seen in the middle of the firmament. It should be known that the Seven Sages are united with it (the zone of the constellations) in the sky for a hundred years. This is the evidence of the union of the Sages and the constellations.

हिन्दी अर्थ

English

In my opinion the Seven Sages were stationed in the Magha (tenth) constellation at the time of Parlksit. At the time of Andhras they will be in the twentyfourth constellation (i.e. Satabhisak).* At that time the subjects will be afflicted very much. They will be doomed through their mendacious nature in the affairs of virtue, wealth and love.

हिन्दी अर्थ

उत्तमेध्नुत्तमेनापि दुग्धा देवभुजेन तु। मनु क्रृत्वोत्तमं वत्सं सवंसस्थानि धीमता

English

When the Vedic and Smarta (pertaining to the Smrtis) rituals (Dharma) become lax and the rigorous discip¬ line of the castes and the stages of life becomes very loose, the deluded subjects will be weak in their soul-power and undergo a mixing and mingling of the castes. Desirous of securing means of livelihood, Brah¬ manas will approach them reverentially. Declining gradually and bit by bit, all the subjects will be destroyed and when the Yuga expires, they will be completely destroyed. According to divine calculation it is one thousand years. The Sandhyamsa (the period of junction) is also men¬ tioned. (That period is extra.) When it has expired completely Krta Age comes in.

English

The races of Aila and Iksvaku are said to become extinct with Sumitra. Those who know about the Lunar race know that the Ksatriya race of Aila will become extinct with Ksemaka. The sons and descendants of the Sun of the past, present and future have been glorified. They were and will be the heighte- ners of their fame. In that race there were Brahmanas, Ksatriyas, Vaisyas and Sudras.

English

Many noblc-souled kings are born and have pass¬ ed away in every Yuga. Their names are legion. When the members of every family are calculated, many names are re¬ peated. Hence they have not been mentioned by me. The race of Nimi comes to an end in the Vaivasvata Manvantara itself. I will recount how the Ksatriya race originates in this Yuga. Even as I recount listen and understand. Devapi will be born in the Kalapa village. He will be a king of Puru's family and considered (greater) than Iksvaku. He will be endowed with great Yogic power.*

हिन्दी अर्थ

स्वायम्भुव मनु को बछड़ा बनाकर आग्नीध्र ने पृथ्वी का दोहन किया था । तदनम्तर स्वारोचिष मन्वन्तर में परम बुद्धिमान चंत्र ने स्वारोचिष मनु को बछुड़ा बनाकर अन्‍्नों का दोहन किया था। उत्तम मन्वन्तर में परम बुद्धिमान् सर्वश्रेष्ठ देवभुज ने उत्तम मनु को बछड़ा बनाकर सभी प्रकार के अन्‍्नों का दोहन किया था ।१२-१४। पुनः पाँचबं तामस नामक मन्‍्वन्तर में बलबन्धु से तामस मनु को बछड़ा बनाकर यह पृथ्वी दुही गई थी। तदनन्तर पृन्रः चरिष्णव नामक मन्वन्तर में भी पुराण ने चारिष्णब को बछड़ा बन।कर धेथ्वी का दोहन किया। पुनः चाक्षुप नामक मन्‍्वस्तर में भी पुराण ने चाक्षुप मनु को बछड़ा कर पृथ्वी का

English

In the twentieth Yuga (? cycle of four Yugas?) there will not be any founder of the Lunar race. Devapi being un¬ rivalled, will be the first king in the family of Aila. In the four Yugas these two will be the founders of Ksatriya race. Everywhere this should be known as the characteristic feature, for the sake of progeny (the perpetuation of the line).

हिन्दी अर्थ

अधनुश्चिज्ञास्तर्गतग्रन्थो ड, पुस्तके नास्ति ।

English

When Kali Yuga declines and Krta Yuga sets in and again in the first Tretayuga they will be the acti- visors of the Ksatriya lines along with the Seven Sages. In the Dvapara period, Ksatriyas do not stay along with the sages. When Krtayuga and Tretayuga decline, the Seven Sages and the kings will take birth for the sake of seed of the Brahmana and Ksatriya races. For the sake of progeny, they (the Seven Sages) abide by the kings in all the Manvantaras in every Yuga. The annihilation of Ksatriyas leads to their contact with Brahmanas again (?) In all the seven Manvantaras all the progeny have been heard of (?)

English

In view of their long life the Seven Sages know the series of Yugas, the origin, activities and the decline of those active persons belonging to Brahmana and Ksatriya races. The birth of the Brahmanas in the families of Aila and Ik$vaku is in this manner (?) Born in the Treta Age and extinct in the Kali Age, they will follow the Age till the end of the Manvan- tara. When all the Ksatriyas were eliminated by Rama, the son of Jamadagni, the Ksatriyas of the two families were born again. I shall recount them. Listen and understand.

हिन्दी अर्थ

दोहन किया। चाक्षुष नामक मन्वन्तर के बीत जाने पर जब पुनः वैवस्वत नामक मन्वन्तर प्रारम्भ हुआ तब वेन पुत्र राजा प्रथु ने जिस प्रकार इस पृथ्वी का दोहन किथा था, उसका वर्णन मैं कर चुका

English

The families of Aila and Iksvaku spread once again. A series of other kings of the Ksatriya race became rulers. A hundred families undergoing coronation became famous among each of the races of Aila and Iksvaku. The extent of Bhojas is up to twice of that (i.e. two hundred). Thus there were three hundred Ksatriya

हिन्दी अर्थ

बीते हुए मन्वन्तरों में इन्हीं उपर्युक्त देवताओं, मनुष्यों तथा भूतादि ने प्रथ्वी का दोहन किया था । व्यतीत एवं भविष्यत्कालीन मन्वन्तरों में इसी प्रकार उन्हीं देवताओं को जान लेना चाहिए. जिनका वर्णन मैं कर चुका । अब इस राजा पृथ् की प्रजाओं के विषय में मुझसे सुनिये । उस राजा पृथु के अध्तधि और पाली नामक्र दो महान बलशाली पुत्र हुए। जिनमें अन्तर्धान से शिखण्डिनी ने ह॒विर्धान नामक पुत्र उत्पन्न किया आग्नेयी घिषणा ने हविर्धान के संयोग से प्राचीनबहिस, शुक्र, गय, कृष्ण, त्रज और अजिन नामक छ पुत्रों को उत्पन्न किया । परम ऐश्वयंशाली प्राचीनबहिस एक महान् प्रजापति था वह अपने बल, शास्त्र ज्ञान, तपस्या और पराक्रम से समस्त पृथ्वीमण्डल का एकच्छ॒त्र सम्राट था। यज्ञादि कार्यों में उसके कुशों के अग्न भाग पूराने पड़ जाते थे अतः प्राचीनबहिस् नाम से वह प्रसिद्ध हुआ। महान अज्ञानान्थकार से पार हो

English

Listen and understand even as I recount the past and the present kings among them. Prativindhyas were a hundred; Nagas were a hundred; Hayas were a hundred; Dhrtarastras were a hundred and one; Janamejayas were eighty; Brahmadattas were a hundred; Sirins and Virins were a hundred (each); then Pulomans were a hundred; Svetas, Kagas, Kusas etc. were a hundred; the other Sasabindus who passed away were a thousand. All of them performed horse-sacrifices with lakhs and lakhs in Daksina. Thus hundreds and thousands of saintly kings have passed away.

English

Know that the descendants in this world of the present Vaivasvata Manu cannot be mentioned in detail and in full even in hundreds of years. In the Vaivasvata Manvantara already twentyeight cycles of four Yugas have passed along with their saintly kings. Listen and understand those who yet remain. Forty excellent kings will be born in the future. Then the Vaivasvata Manvantara will come to a close. Inciden¬ tally I have mentioned everything in detail and in brief. Many are repeated. As they are too many they could not be mention¬ ed in full. The twentyfive families of Yayati's sons were highly beneficent to the people. They have been glorified. They even now sustain the worlds.
