parāvara-jñaḥ sa ṛṣiḥ
kālenāvyakta-raṁhasā
yuga-dharma-vyatikaraṁ
prāptaṁ bhuvi yuge yuge
para-avara — past and future; jñaḥ — one who knows; saḥ — he; ṛṣiḥ — Vyāsadeva; kālena — by time; avyakta — unmanifested; raṁhasā — by great force; yuga-dharma — acts in terms of the millennium; vyatikaram — anomalies; prāptam — having accrued; bhuvi — on the earth; yuge yuge — different ages.
偉大な聖者ヴィヤーサデーヴァは千年期の義務において例外を見た。このことは他の時代に地球で時節が来れば見えない力のために起こることである。
The great sages like Vyāsadeva are liberated souls, and therefore they can see clearly past and future. Thus he could see the future anomalies in the Kali age, and accordingly he made arrangement for the people in general so that they can execute a progressive life in this age, which is full of darkness. The people in general in this Age of Kali are too much interested in matter, which is temporary. Because of ignorance they are unable to evaluate the assets of life and be enlightened in spiritual knowledge.
