Verse 11

⁸whoever among brahmins, merchants, kshatriyas and sudras is strongest will be king. And the people, their wives and their goods torn from them by greedy princes with no pity in them, who go on like bandits, ⁹will make off to the hills and the forests, living on greens, roots, meat, honey, fruit, flowers and seeds. ¹⁰They will be destroyed by drought, worn down by famine and by taxes. Cold, wind, sun, the rains and frost, and one another, ¹¹and hunger and thirst and sicknesses, will burn the people, and worry will burn them too. Twenty or thirty years is the longest a man lives in the Kali age.
