Verse 39

³⁴Pralamba, Khara, Dardura, Kesin, Arista, the wrestlers, the elephant, Kamsa, the Yavanas, Kuja, Paundraka and the rest; and others headed by Salva, Kapi, Balvala, Dantavakra, the seven bulls, Sambara, Viduratha and Rukmi; ³⁵and those who shine in the press of battle with their bows taken up, the Kambojas, Matsyas, Kurus, Kekayas, Srnjayas and the rest — all of them will go out of sight into his own abode, through Hari, who goes under the borrowed names of Bala, Partha and Bhima. ³⁶Seeing that in time the understanding of men closes over, that their lives are short, and that his own handed-down word is hard to reach the far side of, he shows himself age by age; and in Satyavati he split the tree of the Veda branch from branch.

³⁷When those who hate the gods stand firm on the road of the handed-down word, and with cities made by Maya that move unseen strike at the worlds, he will take on a guise that bewilders the understanding and pulls hard at greed, and will say much that belongs to a lesser dharma. ³⁸When even in the houses of the good there are no accounts of Hari; when the twice-born are cheats and the kings are low men; when the calls of svaha, svadha and vasat are nowhere heard — then, at the end of the age, the Bhagavan will be the chastiser of Kali. ³⁹At the making, austerity, and I, and the seers, and the nine lords of creatures; at the upholding, dharma and sacrifice and the Manus and the gods and the lords of the earth; at the end, wrongdoing and Hara and those ruled by wrath and the antigods. All these are outgrowths of maya and carry the power of him whose powers are many.
