He saw that direction of the eternal time had changed and it was very fearful. There were discrepancies in the seasonal regulations. The people in general had become too much greedy, angry and accustomed to falsehood. And he saw also that the people in general had adopted foul means of livelihood.

When civilization is disconnected with the loving relation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead the symptoms like change of seasonal regulations, man's foul means of livelihood, all becoming too much greedy, angry, affinitive for falsehood, all become too much rampant. Change of seasonal regulations means atmosphere of one season being manifested in another season for example the rainy season transferred to autumn or the fruits and flowers of one season becoming fructified in another season. A godless man is invariably a greedy, angry and accustomed to falsehood man. Such man can earn his livelihood by any means never mind black and white. During the reign of Maharaj Yudhisthir all the above symtoms were conspicuous by their absence. But Maharaj Yudhisthir was astonished to experience even a slight change in the godly atmosphere of his kingdom and at once he suspected disappearance of the Lord. Foul means of livelihood means deviation from one's occupational duty. There are prescribed duties for everyone such as the Brahmin, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Sudras but anyone of them who deviates from the prescribed duty and declares at the same to belong to the particular section it is called foul means of occupational duty. A man becomes too much greedy for wealth and power when he has no higher objective of life and when he knows only this earthly life for a few years is all in all. Ignorance is the cause for all these anomalies of the human society and to remove this ignorance of life specially in this age of degradation the powerful sun is there in the shape of Srimad Bhagwatam to distribute light.

When civilization is disconnected from the loving relation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, symptoms like changes of seasonal regulations, foul means of livelihood, greed, anger and fraudulence become rampant. The change of seasonal regulations refers to one season's atmosphere becoming manifest in another season—for example the rainy season's being transferred to autumn, or the fructification of fruits and flowers from one season in another season. A godless man is invariably greedy, angry and fraudulent. Such a man can earn his livelihood by any means, black or white. During the reign of Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, all the above symptoms were conspicuous by their absence. But Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira was astonished to experience even a slight change in the godly atmosphere of his kingdom, and at once he suspected the disappearance of the Lord. Foul means of livelihood implies deviation from one's occupational duty. There are prescribed duties for everyone, such as the #i#brāhmaṇa#/i#, #i#kṣatriya#/i#, #i#vaiśya#/i# and #i#śūdra#/i#, but anyone who deviates from his prescribed duty and declares another's duty to be his own is following a foul and improper duty. A man becomes too greedy for wealth and power when he has no higher objective in life and when he thinks that this earthly life of a few years is all in all. Ignorance is the cause for all these anomalies in human society, and to remove this ignorance, especially in this age of degradation, the powerful sun is there to distribute light in the shape of #i#Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam#/i#.
