“The wife of Irreligion was named Falsehood. She was very beautiful, and had eyes like those of a cat. They had a son named Pride, who was always very angry and energetic. Pride had a sister named Illusion, and within her womb, she begot a son named Greed and a daughter named Cunning. Greed begot a son named Anger in the womb of Cunning. Envy, was Anger’s sister. From the womb of Envy, Anger begot a son named KALI. Kali is always seen to be holding his genitals in his left hand”. “Kali’s abdomen is like that of a crow, his face is frightening to behold, and his tongue is red and appears to be full of greed. Kali is very fond of playing chess, drinking wine, enjoying the company of prostitutes and associating with gold merchants. “ “Kali’s sister was Harsh Speech. From her womb, Kali begot a son named Fear and a Daughter named Death. Fear begot a son named Hell, from the womb of Death and Hell begot ten thousand sons in the womb of his sister, Excessive Pain. Thus I have described the progeny of Kali, who were all blasphemous of genuine religious principles. “ “All these relatives of Kali were the destroyers of sacrifice, study of the Vedas. They were reservoirs of mental distress, disease, old age, sorrow, lamentation and fear. “ “These descendant of Kali are found wandering everywhere throughout the kingdom of Kali, destroying the people of the world. They are misguided by the influence of time, very restless by nature, full of lusty desires, extremely sinful, very proud, and violent even to their own father and mother. “ “These fallen souls are very fond of dry arguments, and they use religion as a means of livelihood, as a profession. They are fallen from the execution of their vows, and sell wine and other abominable things, including meat. They are cruel by nature, and very fond of gratifying their bellies and genitals. For this reason, they lust after the wives of others and are always seen intoxicated. They were not born of a mother and father who were properly married, and they are short in height and always engaged in sinful acts, such as cheating others. They generally reside in a sacred place, live for only 16 years, associate with wretched people and only consider brother in law to be friend or relative. “ “The people of Kali-yuga are accustomed to quarreling and fighting amongst themselves. They go to great lengths to groom their hair, wear their best of clothes and decorate themselves with costly ornaments.“ “In Kali yuga a person with a lot of money will naturally be respected as a great soul. In Kali yuga people will blasphemy a spiritual master or other elderly person without hesitation. Indeed, people will become hypocrites, liars and cheaters. “ “In Kali yuga, the low character people will accept charity from others, or else plunder other’s wealth without discrimination. Mutual agreement will become the sole criteria for solemnizing the marriage of a boy and a girl. People will show sympathy and magnanimity, but will simply be a form of duplicity. Forgiveness will be granted only when a person is unable to harm the offending party. In a society of might makes right, people will easily become annoyed with those in a weaker position. Even fools will be very talkative in attempt to prove they are learned. People will engage in religious ceremonies, but simply to acquire a reputation. If one has wealth, he will be considered a saint. “ “The Earth will restrict the production of grains. The currents of rivers will flow very rapidly, and even married women will behave little better than prostitutes, because they will practically have no attachment to their husbands. Women will become promiscuous, s that they will be easily abandoned by their husbands. Clouds will shower rain very irregularly, and the land will not have sufficient crops. Kings will whimsically kill and torture their subjects, and burden them with excessive taxes. Such unfortunate subjects will finally take their family and belongings and take shelter of mountains and dense forests. The people of Kali yoga will sustain their lives by eating flesh, honey, fruit and roots, without discrimination. Almost everyone will take pleasure in blaspheming the Supreme Lord, Shri Kirishna. These are some of the symptoms that will manifest at the beginning of the Kali yoga.“ “In the second quarter of Kali Yuga, people will no longer chant the Holy names of Lord Krishna. In the third quarter of the Kali Yuga, there will be an upsurge of unwanted population, and in the final quarter of of Kali yuga there will be only one class of human beings, because God consciousness will have long be forgotten.“ “When the study of the Vedas, performance of sacrifice, chanting of mantras and other religious practices thus disappear from this world during Kali yuga, the demigods, being afflicted due to not receiving their share of sacrificial offerings, will take shelter of Lord Brahma, the grandfather of the universe, and expressed their concerns. “ (after one chapter in which Heavenly abodes were described, with flowers and birds). In next chapter Lord Vishnu decides to take an incarnation to remove the Kali from Earth, and bring back justice to people. “My mission will be to eliminate the wicked Kali, with the help of my four brothers” “ O demigods. Your expansions should also take birth on the Earth to assist me in My mission. My consort will also take birth on Earth as my wife, Padma. “ “O, Demigods, do not delay. By your plenary portions, take birth on the Earth. Later on, I will entrust the responsibility for ruling the Earth to two powerful Kings named Maru and Devapi” “I will then again re establish Satya-yuga, and thus reinstate the principles of religion as they were before. Rest assured that I will return only after destroying the poisonous snake, Kali.” The next chapters describe the birth of Lord Kalki on Earth, his family, his childhood ceremonies. Followed by his marriage to Padma. Then, the fight with Kali, and then reestablishing peace and justice on Earth.
