“In that era, Venerable Sir, what kind of appearance, condition, and manifestation will human beings in Bharata expanse have?”
“Gautama! Humans will be ill-formed, of bad color, foul-smelling, of bad taste, of foul touch, undesirable, unpleasing, disagreeable, inauspicious, disagreeable to the mind, unappealing; having low voices, wretched voices, undesirable voices, unpleasing voices, disagreeable voices, inauspicious voices, voices disagreeable to the mind, unappealing voices, and their utterances will not be accepted; shameless; engrossed in deceit, fraud, quarrel, slaughter, bondage, and hostility; foremost in transgressing moral bounds; continually intent on wrongful actions; devoid of respect and obedience to elders; of defective form, with overgrown nails, hair, beards, and body hair, black, of harsh, rough, and charred complexion, with split heads, yellowish-gray hair, their forms repulsive to look upon and bound with prominent veins, with bodies and limbs enveloped in wrinkled waves of skin like elderly men transformed by senility, with widely separated and fallen rows of teeth, with elevated pot-like faces, asymmetrical eyes, crooked noses, and frightful faces furrowed with crooked wrinkles…
…overwhelmed with scabies and itch, their bodies scratched and wounded by harsh, sharp nails, their rough skins cracked by ringworm, herpes, and white leprosy, with peculiar limbs, moving with a jerky gait, having uneven joints and ligaments, weak with distorted and prominent bones, possessing inferior bodily configurations, inferior heights, and inferior proportions, ill-formed, having base dwellings, base seats, base bedding, and base food, unclean, their limbs and bodies tormented by multiple diseases, walking with stumbling and staggering gait, devoid of enthusiasm, bereft of vitality, their movements gone and their luster lost, their bodies and limbs repeatedly coated with dirt and dust stirred up by cold, hot, harsh, and rough winds, possessing abundant anger, pride, and deceit, highly greedy, partaking in inauspicious misery, for the most part fallen away from moral consciousness and right faith, at the most measuring a single cubit (aratni) in height, having a maximum lifespan of sixteen to twenty years, surrounded by many sons, grandsons, and relatives, and filled with affection for them. Remaining as mere seeds, seventy-two families will dwell in caves dependent upon the great rivers Gaṅgā and Sindhu and Mount Vaitāḍhya.”
“Venerable Sir, what food will those humans consume?”
“Gautama! At that time, in that era, the great rivers Gaṅgā and Sindhu will have the width of a chariot’s path, carrying water measuring only the axle-hole of a cart. That water will be teeming with fish and tortoises, but it will not have much water.
Then those humans will emerge from their caves at the muhūrta of sunrise and at the muhūrta of sunset; having emerged, they will drag fish and tortoises onto dry ground, and having dragged them out, they will spend twenty-one thousand years maintaining their livelihood on those fish and tortoises baked by cold and heat.”
“Venerable Sir, those humans who are without good conduct, without virtue, without restraint, without vows of renunciation, posadha, and fasting, mostly consuming meat, consuming fish, consuming inferior organisms, and consuming corpses—when they die at the end of their time, where will they go? Where will they be reborn?”
“Gautama! For the most part, they will be reborn among the hellish beings and in the wombs of animals.”
“Venerable Sir, where will lions, tigers, wolves, leopards, bears, hyenas, and wild dogs, which are likewise without good conduct, […] be reborn?”
“Gautama! For the most part, they will be reborn among the hellish beings and in the wombs of animals.”
“Venerable Sir, where will vultures, herons, crows, cormorants, and peacocks, which are likewise without good conduct, […] be reborn?”
“Gautama! For the most part, they will be reborn among the hellish beings and in the wombs of animals.”
“So it is, Venerable Sir! So it is, Venerable Sir!”
