Verse 16

¹⁶So, when the Kali age is nearly gone and people carry themselves like asses, the Bhagavan will come down in clarity, to keep dharma from harm. ¹⁷Of Visnu, teacher of all that moves and all that stands, the Lord, the self of everything, there will be a birth: to keep dharma from harm, for the good, and to put an end to their works, ¹⁸in the house of Visnuyasas, great of soul, the chief brahmin of the village Sambhala, Kalki will show himself. ¹⁹Mounting the swift horse Devadatta, the lord of the world, with the sword that puts down the wicked, holding the eight powers, ²⁰ranging the earth on that quick horse, of a brightness nothing can match, he will strike down bandits by the ten million, men who cover themselves with the marks of kings.
