Текст песни: Decay2 (nihils' Maw) + перевод

Decay:

The Symptoms of Kali-yuga

Nihils' Maw

Sri-suka uvaca

Tatas canu-dinam dharmah

Satyam saucam ksama daya

Kalena balina rajan

Nanksyaty ayur balam smrtih

Sukadeva Gosvami said: Then, O King, religion, truthfulness, cleanliness,

tolerance, mercy

Duration of life, physical strength and memory will all diminish day by day

because of the

Powerful influence of the age of Kali

Vittam eva kalau nrnam

Janmacara-gunodayah

Dharma-nyaya-vyavasthayam

Karanam balam eva hi

In Kali-yuga, wealth alone will be considered the sign of a man’s good birth

Proper behavior and fine qualities. And law and justice will be applied only on

The basis of one’s power

Dampatye 'bhirucir hetur

Mayaiva vyavaharike

Stritve pumstve ca hi ratir

Vipratve sutram eva hi

Men and women will live together merely because of superficial attraction

And success in business will depend on deceit. Womanliness and manliness

Will be judged according to one’s expertise in sex, and a man will be known

As a brahmana just by his wearing a thread

Lingam evasrama-khyatav

Anyonyapatti-karanam

Avrttya nyaya-daurbalyam

Panditye capalam vacah

A person’s spiritual position will be ascertained merely according to external

symbols

And on that same basis people will change from one spiritual order to the next

A person’s propriety will be seriously questioned if he does not earn a good

living

And one who is very clever at juggling words will be considered a learned

scholar

Anadhyataivasadhutve

Sadhutve dambha eva tu

Svikara eva codvahe

Snanam eva prasadhanam

A person will be judged unholy if he does not have money, and hypocrisy will be

Accepted as virtue. Marriage will be arranged simply by verbal agreement

And a person will think he is fit to appear in public if he has merely taken a

bath

Dure vary-ayanam tirtham

Lavanyam kesa-dharanam

Udaram-bharata svarthah

Satyatve dharstyam eva hi

Daksyam kutumba-bharanam

Yaso 'rthe dharma-sevanam

A sacred place will be taken to consist of no more than a reservoir of water

Located at a distance, and beauty will be thought to depend on one’s hairstyle

Filling the belly will become the goal of life, and one who is audacious will be

Accepted as truthful. He who can maintain a family will be regarded as an

expert man

And the principles of religion will be observed only for the sake of reputation

Evam prajabhir dustabhir

Akirne ksiti-mandale

Brahma-vit-ksatra-sudranam

Yo bali bhavita nrpah

As the earth thus becomes crowded with a corrupt population, whoever among any

of the social

Classes shows himself to be the strongest will gain political power

Praja hi lubdhai rajanyair

Nirghrnair dasyu-dharmabhih

Acchinna-dara-dravina

Yasyanti giri-kananam

Losing their wives and properties to such avaricious and merciless rulers

Who will behave no better than ordinary thieves, the citizens will flee to the

mountains

And forests

Saka-mulamisa-ksaudra-

Phala-puspasti-bhojanah

Anavrstya vinanksyanti

Durbhiksa-kara-piditah

Harassed by famine and excessive taxes, people will resort to eating leaves

Roots, flesh, wild honey, fruits, flowers and seeds. Struck by drought

They will become completely ruined

Sita-vatatapa-pravrd-

Himair anyonyatah prajah

Ksut-trdbhyam vyadhibhis caiva

Santapsyante ca cintaya

The citizens will suffer greatly from cold, wind, heat, rain and snow

They will be further tormented by quarrels, hunger, thirst, disease and severe

anxiety

Trimsad vimsati varsani

Paramayuh kalau nrnam

The maximum duration of life for human beings in Kali-yuga will become fifty

years

Ksiyamanesu dehesu

Dehinam kali-dosatah

Varnasramavatam dharme

Naste veda-pathe nrnam

Pasanda-pracure dharme

Dasyu-prayesu rajasu

Cauryanrta-vrtha-himsa-

Nana-vrttisu vai nrsu

Sudra-prayesu varnesu

Cchaga-prayasu dhenusu

Grha-prayesv asramesu

Yauna-prayesu bandhusu

Anu-prayasv osadhisu

Sami-prayesu sthasnusu

Vidyut-prayesu meghesu

Sunya-prayesu sadmasu

Ittham kalau gata-praye

Janesu khara-dharmisu

Dharma-tranaya sattvena

Bhagavan avatarisyati

By the time the age of Kali ends, the bodies of all creatures will be greatly

reduced

In size, and the religious principles of followers of varnasrama will be ruined

The path of the Vedas will be completely forgotten in human society

And so-called religion will be mostly atheistic. The kings will mostly be

thieves

The occupations of men will be stealing, lying and needless violence

And all the social classes will be reduced to the lowest level of sudras

Cows will be like goats, spiritual hermitages will be no different from mundane

houses

And family ties will extend no further than the immediate bonds of marriage

Most plants and herbs will be tiny, and all trees will appear like dwarf sami

trees

Clouds will be full of lightning, homes will be devoid of piety

And all human beings will have become like asses

At that time, the Supreme Personality of Godhead will appear on the earth

Acting with the power of pure spiritual goodness, He will rescue eternal

religion

Caracara-guror visnor

Isvarasyakhilatmanah

Dharma-tranaya sadhunam

Janma karmapanuttaye

Lord Visnu-the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the spiritual master of all

moving

And nonmoving living beings, and the Supreme Soul of all-takes birth to protect

The principles of religion and to relieve His saintly devotees from the

reactions of

Material work

Sambhala-grama-mukhyasya

Brahmanasya mahatmanah

Bhavane visnuyasasah

Kalkih pradurbhavisyati

Lord Kalki will appear in the home of the most eminent brahmana of Sambhala

village

The great soul Visnuyasa

Asvam asu-gam aruhya

Devadattam jagat-patih

Asinasadhu-damanam

Astaisvarya-gunanvitah

Vicarann asuna ksaunyam

Hayenapratima-dyutih

Nrpa-linga-cchado dasyun

Kotiso nihanisyati

Lord Kalki, the Lord of the universe, will mount His swift horse Devadatta and

Sword in hand, travel over the earth exhibiting His eight mystic opulences and

eight special

Qualities of Godhead. Displaying His unequaled effulgence and riding with great

speed

He will kill by the millions those thieves who have dared dress as kings

Atha tesam bhavisyanti

Manamsi visadani vai

Vasudevanga-ragati-

Punya-gandhanila-sprsam

Paura-janapadanam vai

Hatesv akhila-dasyusu

After all the impostor kings have been killed, the residents of the cities and

towns will

Feel the breezes carrying the most sacred fragrance of the sandalwood paste and

other

Decorations of Lord Vasudeva, and their minds will thereby become

transcendentally pure

Tesam praja-visargas ca

Sthavisthah sambhavisyati

Vasudeve bhagavati

Sattva-murtau hrdi sthite

When Lord Vasudeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, appears in their hearts

In His transcendental form of goodness, the remaining citizens will abundantly

repopulate

The earth
