Chapter 4 of the Sai Satcharitra provides a detailed list of societal and religious decay that necessitates a saint's incarnation. These conditions include Brahmins despising their own caste, religious teachers being insulted, and a general disregard for religious law. It also mentions a time when sectarian hatred grows, people become distressed, and proper conduct regarding food and thought is ignored. Furthermore, the text notes that when even Brahmins openly consume liquor and meat and grow tired of their daily prayers, it is a clear sign that the time for a saint's incarnation has come to restore order.
