1. Vaiśampāyana said: Thus addressed, those Pārthas and the two Yamas, foremost among men, together with Draupadī (Kṛṣṇā), bowed to Janārdana.

vṛṣaḥ pratiṣṭhitaḥ dharmaḥ manuṣyeṣu abhavat purā
10. In the Kṛta age, natural law (dharma) was fully established among humans, like a bull with four feet, complete, and free from deceit or artificial conditions. This is how it existed in ancient times.

11. adharmapādaviddhaḥ tu tribhiḥ aṃśaiḥ pratiṣṭhitaḥ
tretāyām dvāpare ardhena vyāmiśraḥ dharmaḥ ucyate
11. However, in the Tretā age, natural law (dharma) became established with only three parts, as it was afflicted by one 'foot' of unrighteousness (adharma). In the Dvāpara age, natural law (dharma) is said to be mixed by half (with unrighteousness).
त्रिभिरंशैरधर्मस्तु लोकानाक्रम्य तिष्ठति ।
चतुर्थांशेन धर्मस्तु मनुष्यानुपतिष्ठति ॥१२॥
12. tribhiraṁśairadharmastu lokānākramya tiṣṭhati ,
caturthāṁśena dharmastu manuṣyānupatiṣṭhati.
12. tribhiḥ aṃśaiḥ adharmaḥ tu lokān ākramya tiṣṭhati
caturthāṃśena dharmaḥ tu manuṣyān upatiṣṭhati
12. But unrighteousness (adharma) prevails by three parts, having seized control of the worlds. Natural law (dharma), on the other hand, stands by humanity with only a fourth part.

13. āyuḥ vīryam atha u buddhiḥ balam tejaḥ ca pāṇḍava
manuṣyāṇām anuyugam hrasati iti nibodha me
13. O Pāṇḍava, understand from me that the life span, vitality, intelligence, strength, and brilliance of humans diminish with each succeeding age.
राजानो ब्राह्मणा वैश्याः शूद्राश्चैव युधिष्ठिर ।
व्याजैर्धर्मं चरिष्यन्ति धर्मवैतंसिका नराः ॥१४॥

16. āyuṣaḥ prakṣayāt vidyām na śakṣyanti upaśikṣitum
vidyāhīnān avijñānāt lobhaḥ api abhibhaviṣyati
