According to Chapter 4, the time for a saint's incarnation is marked by widespread societal and religious decline. The text provides a detailed list of these signs, including when Brahmins despise their own caste and Shudras attempt to become Brahmins, when religious teachers are insulted, and when everyone considers themselves a scholar without respecting others. Further signs mentioned in this chapter include the open consumption of liquor and meat by Brahmins, the growth of sectarian hatred, and even spiritual practitioners like Brahmins, ritualists, and Yogis growing tired of their daily prayers, ceremonies, and meditations.
