1.4.16
parāvarajñaḥ sa ṛṣiḥ kālenāvyaktaraṃhasā /
yugadharmavyatikaraṃ prāptaṃ bhuvi yuge yuge //
16, 17, 18. The Rishi Vyasa who knows the Para Brahman and all else, who reads the past and the future, perceives by his divine vision how, on earth, age after age, by the subtle force of Time, dharmas of the age become changed and corrupted (promiscuously mixed up), how by its force the products of the five Bhutas deteriorate, how men become destitute of faith, energy, and intelligence and short-lived, and how men grow weaker, he considered what would be good to people of all Varnas and Asramas; for his divine vision never fails to see the truth.
