Vagbhata, who authored the magnum opus on Ayurveda "Ashtanga Hridayam", wrote about the Dark Age ( Kali Yuga ) or the Epoch of the Beast, which is the triumph of base passions and materialism, thus
The Earth without virility
Medicines without value medicinal
The vicious extolled as great
Politicians interested in only gold
Priest fallen from their purity
Wives inimical to husbands
Sons vituperating against parents
Ethics & Morality in total exile
Such is the Dark Age or Kali Yuga !
