Translation
The land along the Sindhu River, as well as the districts of Candrabhāgā, Kauntī and Kāśmīra, will be ruled by śūdras, fallen brāhmaṇas and meat-eaters. Having given up the path of Vedic civilization, they will have lost all spiritual strength.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Śudras, fallen brāhmaṇas and mlecchas, devoid of the Vedas, will rule the land along the Sindhu River, as well as the districts of Candrabhāgā, Kauntī and Kāśmīra.
