Verse 35

³⁵So ordered by Pariksit, Kali began to shake, and said this to him as he stood there with his sword raised, like the rod-bearer with his rod lifted: ³⁶Wherever I go to live by your order, emperor of the whole earth, there too, in every place, I make out you, with arrow and bow taken up. ³⁷So, best of those who uphold dharma, be pleased to point me out a place where I may live, held to it, standing by what you lay down for me. ³⁸So begged, he gave Kali his places: gambling, drink, women and slaughter, in which wrongdoing is of four kinds. ³⁹And when he begged again, the master gave him gold; and from that come falsehood, drunkenness, desire, passion, and enmity as the fifth.

⁴⁰In these five places, given him by Uttara's son, Kali, in whom wrongdoing has its rise, took up his living, doing as he had been told.
