The fourth chapter of the Sai Satcharitra provides several distinct examples of moral and religious decline that signal the need for a saint's arrival. These signs include when Brahmins despise their own stage of life, Shudras attempt to become Brahmins, and religious teachers are insulted and punished. The text also notes that it is a time when no one obeys religious edicts, people ignore rules about what should be eaten or served, and even Brahmins are described as openly consuming liquor and meat. As Chapter 4 states, these conditions of growing sectarian hatred and loss of religious discipline call for a saint's incarnation.
