46. [Q. 3] What type of food shall the human beings take at that time?
[Ans.] Gautam ! There shall be only two rivers Ganga and Sindhu at that time in existence. Their width shall be just that of the path on which a cart can move and the depth shall be that of the wheel in the cart. Many fish and tortoise shall live in that water. There shall not be any water-bodied beings of that class.
Those human beings shall come out from their caves running quickly at the time of sunrise and sunset. They shall catch the fish and tortoise and bring them at the bank. They shall make them juiceless and dry in
the cold at night and in the sun during the day. Since they are not 4 capable of digesting a very juicy food, they shall turn it worthy of their !
digestion. They shall pass on their life taking such a food. In this way 21,000 years of this aeon shall pass.
