I think that all these earthly disturbances indicate some greater loss to the good fortune of the world. The world was fortunate to have been marked with the footprints of the lotus feet of the Lord. These signs indicate that this will no longer be.

Translation
It seems the earth, made inauspicious by these ominous signs, is devoid of the footsteps of the Lord endowed with glorious marks not seen in any one else.
Commentary
I consider (manye) that the earth is devoid of the feet of the Lord whose marks like the thunderbolt and elephant goad do not exist in other persons (ananya-puruṣa-śrībhiḥ).

Personal Guidance
These signs indicate the loss of marks of the Lord's lotus feet from earth. The world was fortunate to be touched by Him. The signs say that won't last. Presence is finite; treat it as treasure.
Reflection Questions
- Whose presence in my world is finite — and am I treating it that way?
- Where would acting now matter because the chance is closing?
