move. In this r the human body will just be one hand high and lifespan will be between 16 to 20 years. There will be numerous boys and girls in a family and people will have no love for any other apart from their own families. People will forever be worried about their own families. People will be very ugly, harsh, and shameless, immersed in squabbles and bad deeds, disrespecting, unwise, suffering from different kinds of diseases, lacking in brilliance, stuck in bad qualities of illusion and passion and will be indulgent in bad habits. There will be many more numbers of disabled people. The expanse and depth of Gamg and Simdhu rivers will reduce phenomenally; there will be less water and fish and tortoises will be many more in number which will be consumed as food. After death people will be born in hell and nether realms."
Utsarpi k la cycle
“After the end of the Du am - Du ama half cycle of the avasarpi cycle, a progressive half cycle called utsarpi will arise. Just like the avasarpi utsarpi too will have six rakas - in the reverse. That is, the first raka will be Du am - Du ama and the last, or sixth will be Su am -Su ama. The first r of utsarpi cycle will be of 21 thousand years and the situation will be similar to the one in the sixth ara of avasarpi (regressive) half cycle. The only difference is that in utsarpi the situation will progressively improve."
At the end of the first raka the second raka Du ama will commence which will last for 21 thousand years. In this time, there will be a good time right from the beginning. A cloud by name Pu kara Samvartaka will shower torrential rains for seven days all over Bharata land. The heat of the earth will cool down and different kinds of grains and medicines will grow. This way for seven days, each Pu kara Megha, KraMegha, Gh taMegha, Am taMegha and RasaMegha will send torrential rains, making the dry earth cool, content, and lush green. People hidden inside caves will come out again and seeing the lush green earth, will begin reconstruction of a new life. They will give up flesh eating and become vegetarians. They will construct a society on a new foundation and successively there will be progress in knowledge, science, arts, crafts,
etc.”
