Verse 34

³⁴At the end of a thousand divine years, in the fourth age, the Krta will come again, and then the minds of men will be lit by the self. ³⁵So this is the line of Manu, as it is counted on the earth; and in the same way the lines of the merchants, the sudras and the brahmins are to be known, age by age. ³⁶Of these great men, who were names and shapes and are left as story and nothing more, it is only the renown that stands on the earth. ³⁷Devapi, Santanu's brother, and Maru, born in the line of Iksvaku, are sitting in the village Kalapa, holding great power of yoga. ³⁸At the end of the Kali age those two will come here, taught by Vasudeva, and lay out again, as it was before, the dharma that goes with class and stage.

³⁹Krta, Treta, Dvapara and Kali: this set of four ages goes on turning among living things on the earth in just this order.
