The Greeks in Bactria and India c16.22

c16.22

‘In the end of the Yuga there will be non-Aryans following the religious practices of the Aryas. The Brahmanas, the Kshatriyas, the Vaisyas as well as the Sūdras will be low men. They undoubtedly will dress themselves all alike and will have conduct all alike. In that end of the Yuga men⁵ will be united with heretical sects; they will strike friendships for the sake of women. This is without doubt. Without doubt there will be in this world Bhiksukas (religious mendicants)⁶ of the Sūdra caste, wearing Chīra (Buddhist religious cloth) and bark, wearing matted hair and bark. At the approach of the end of the Yuga in this world, the Sūdras will offer oblations to fire with hymns proclaimed with *omkāra* and (will be) keepers of the three fires with little hesitation.¹ Without doubt in the end of the Kali age there will be Sūdras who will address with ‘Bho!’ and Brahmanas who will address others with ‘Arya!’ They will be alike in dress and conduct.
