Sanskrit Original
Satyug, Dvāpar, Tretā ne Kaḷi e chār yugnī ek chokaḍī. Evī ekoter chokaḍī ek Indra rāj kare, evā chaud Indra paḍe tyāre ek divas Vairāṭ Nārāyaṇno thāy. Te evā trīs divasno ek mās ne evā bār māsnu ek varas, evā so varas thāy tyāre te Vairāṭ Nārāyaṇ paḍe. Tyāre kaho, tenī āgaḷ āpaṇī shu āyuṣh? Eṭalā sāru jīv shu māru māru karatā hashe? Māṭe kāī chhe ja nahī; māṭe thoḍākmā kām sādhī levu. Ne evu manḍavu ke Artham sādhayāmi vā deham pātayāmi.1 Footnotes: 1. 1. Dhyeya siddha karu athavā dhyeya sudhī pahochatā deh pāḍī nākhu.
Satya-yug, Dwapar, Treta and Kali – these four form one cycle. Indra rules for 71 such cycles. When 14 such Indras fall (complete their rule in heaven) that makes one day of Vairat Narayan. And so 30 such days make a month and 12 such months make a year. After a 100 such years, the reign of Vairat Narayan is complete. So tell me, what is our lifespan before it? And why does the jiva continue to chant ‘mine, mine’? Since, there is nothing permanent up to Prakruti-Purush. Therefore, achieve your work in this short time. And work in such a way that the goal is attained at any cost.
