Parasara said :— Hear from me exactly, Maitreya, the circumstances attending the dissolution of the world eitlier at the expiration of a Kalpa or that which occurs at the cíose of the life of Brahma. A month of men consti- tutes a dayand night of'the progenitors; a year of men is a day and night of the celestiats. Twice a thousand agíjregates of the four ages is a day and night of Brahma. The four ages are the Krita, Treta, Dwapara and Kali, compreliending altogether twelve thousand years of the celestials. There are infinite successions of those four ages of a similar des- cription, the first of which is alvvays called Krita and the lasttheKili. In the first, the Krila is that a«e which is created by Brahma; in the last, which is the Kali age, a disso- tation of the universe takes ptace.

अन्तिम कलियुगको छोड़कर शेष सब चतुर्युग स्वरूपसे

English

In tlie Kali age, people will notwserve caste, order and inslitutes, nor the ceremonial enjoined by the Sama, Rik and Yayur Vedas. Marriages in this age will be ctlebrated according to the rituals, nor will the rulers that connect the spiritual protector and hi« disriple will be in force : the laws that regulate the conduct of husband and wife will be neglected and oblations to the celestials with fire no longer beoffered. A powerful and rich man, in whatever faraily he may be born, will have right to marry maidens of every tribe. In the Kali age, a Brahmana will be always regarded as such even if he be not initiated properly, and many forms of penance will be prcscribed. Maitreya, twice- born one, all texts will be considered as Sastras in the Kali age ; all celestials will be considered in equal light and all orders of life will be common alike to all persons. In this Kali age, fasting, austerity, liberality practised accord- ing to the pleasures of those by whom they are observed will constitute piety. Every trifling property will make meo proud of their wealth. Pride of beauty will be inspired by hair. Gold, jewels, diamonds, clothes will all have períshed, and then hair will be the only ornament with which women can decérate themselves. Wives will desert their husbands when they will lose their wealth; and the rich only will be considered by woinan as their lords. He who will distribute immense wealth, will be considered as master of men and prestige of birth will no longer be a tittle to supremacy. Accu- mulated wealth will be spent on ostentatious dwellings. The ninds of raen will be wholly occupied with earriing money and tbat even will be spent on the gratification of selfisb dcsires. Women will follow their own inclihations and be 'giviín up/to pleasure-seeking. Men wili endeavouf to ac- ,<^e;ficbe» even dishoiiestly. No man will pa/twhhHie

In the Kali age all people will consider themselves as equal witli the Brahmanas ; and cows vm be held in reverence only because they supply milk. People will be always in fear of dearth and scarcity and will watch accorrlingly the appearances of the sky. They will all live, like anchorets, upon leaves and roots and fruits and put a period to their live s through fear of famine and want. Deprived of wealth, people will be perpetually subject to famine and other afflictions; and they wiU never enjoy pleasure and happiness. At the advent of the Kali they will take their food without previous ablu- tions and without worshipping fire, celestials or guests or offering obsequial libations to their progenitors. The women will be fickle, short of stature, gluttonous ; they vvill all have many children and litlle means. And scratching theír heads with both hands they will pay no attemion to the commands of tlieir husbands or parents. They will be selfish, abject and slovenly ; they will be scolds and liars ; they will be indecent and immoral in their conduct and will ever attach themselves to dissolute men. And dis- regarding the rules of stulentíhip youths will study the Vedas. Householders- will neiiher sacrifice nor practise becoming liberality. Anchorets will live upon food accept- ed from rustics and mendicants will be influenced by re- gard for friends and associates. Princes will plunder their aubjects instead of protecting them and under the pretext of levying customs they will rob merchants of their property. ln the Kali Ýuga every one, possessirig cars and elephants and horses, will be a Raja ; every one who is feehle will be a slave. Vaisyas will abandon agriculture and commerce and gain a liveliliood by servitude or exercise of mechanical arts; Sudras, seeking a subíistence by begging and assuraing outward marks of religious mendicants, will'he* W»e the impure followers of impioas and heretical doctriues.

Oppressed by famine and taxation men will desert íherr native countries and repair to the lands which are fit for coarser graíns. The path of the Vedas being obliterated and people having deviated into herwy, iniquity will flourish and the duration of life will therefore decrease. On account of the horrible penances enjoined by scripture and of thc vices of the rulers, children will die in thcir infancy. Women will bear children at the age of five, six or seven years and men will beget them, when they are eight, nine or te». Men will grow old at the age of twefve and no one will live more than twenty years. Men vvill possess tittle sense, vigvvr virtue and will therefore uie in a short time. O Maitreya, the wise theu estimate the approach of Kali when the number of heretics increases. Whenever, O Maitreya, number of the pious devoted to the lessons of the Vedas, diminishes, the efforts, of the individuals who cultivate virtue, becoine relax ; the first of males becomes no longer the object of sacrifice ; respect for tbe teachers of the Vedas declihes and regard is cherished for the dissiminators of heresy, the wise estimate the augmented itiflnence of the

At the approach of the Kali, Vipra, the clouds will yield scanty rain ; the corn will be light in ear and the grain will be poor and of little sap : garments will be mostly máde of the fibres of sun : the principal of trees will be the Sami ; principle caste will be the Sudra ; millet will be the more conimon grain ; tbe milk in use will be chiefly that of goats ; unguénts will be made „of Ushira grass.
