“ ‘ “There will be shooting stars that will fall,
And similarly there will appear comets,
And the armies of invading enemies
And famines will drastically take place.

“ ‘ “His cherished minister and
Cherished elephant will die.
Afterward, his cherished
Camels will also die.³⁰⁵

“ ‘ “People will steal from one another
Homes, possessions, and wealth.

Strike³⁰⁶ one another with weapons.

“ ‘ “There will arise in those regions
Fighting, quarreling, and dishonesty.
A demon will enter the kingdom
And there will be dreadful illnesses.

“ ‘ “After that, even the recipients of
Offerings will become unrighteous.
His court and his ministers
Will also become unrighteous.

“ ‘ “Those individuals who are righteous
Will constantly be punished.
If unrighteous individuals are honored
And the righteous are punished,

“ ‘ “Because the malevolent are loved and honored,
And because the good are punished,
In that place water, lunar asterisms,
And wind, those three, will become agitated.³⁰⁷

There are three things that will be destroyed:
The vital essence of the flavor of the Dharmas,
The vitality of beings, and the fecundity of the earth.

“ ‘ “Through honoring evil people
And dishonoring good people,
There are three things that will occur:
Death, lightning, and famine.

“ ‘ “Afterward, the vitality and flavor
Of fruits and harvests will vanish,³⁰⁸
And in those regions there will be
A multitude of people with illnesses.

“ ‘ “Although that land had fruits
That were large and sweet,
They will become bitter and hot,
And they will become small.

“ ‘ “Games, amusements, and pleasures,
Those things that previously had been enjoyed,
Will be disliked and no longer pleasurable,
And instead there will be dismay from hundreds of troubles.

“ ‘ “The luster and the vitality
Of the harvests and fruits will perish,
And they will not bring satisfaction
To the body, the elements, or the senses.
