English translation
spills out the evil of Kali Age Narayana said- Sr! Krsna was surrounded by the cowherds and he himself was seated under the banyan tree in the Bhandlra forest. It was the same place where the Brahmana women had served him the food. Radha took her seat to the left of lord Krsna, Yasoda sat to his right together with all the cowherds Vrsabhana and Nanda besides All the cowherdesses, cowherds, relatives and the friends also took their seat. The lord then spoke to Nanda the appropriate words.
Sr! Krsna said- O Nanda, you kindly listen to me, I shall now speak out the appropriate words suited to the time, which are truthful, beneficial and would bestow pleasure after death.
All the creatures right from the blade of grass to Brahma are perishable like the lightening in the cloud or the line drawn on the water or the water bubbles. You take it from me.
I have already spoken this in Mathura and nothing is left out. In the forest of banana trees Radha had spoken of this to Yasoda. It is completely tnithful and removes the darkness of illusion, serving as a lamp. Therefore disowning all the false illusion get yourself devoted towards the eternal-abode.
That stage relives one of the birth, death and old age, bestows immense pleasure, removes the greed and suffering destroying the roots of the Taking to me to be the eternal Brahman, you should devote your mind towards the same, removing the feeling my being son and achieve the eternal abode.
Now the time for the arrival of Kaliyuga is meaning which destroys the root of the deeds.
Therefore all of you together with the residents of Gokula should go to Goloka.
In the Kaliyuga there are no rules for the man and woman nor are there any rule for the castes.
The Brahmanas would never perform sandhya and would not 'wqslt yajnopavita, Or sometimes they would wear the Yajnasutra and tilakam and would be deprived of other religions duties, they would cohabited during the day time and would indulge in irreligious ways.
The yajiia, vratas and performing of tapas would disappear, the dharma would disappear totally from the earth, because of the curse of the daughter of Kedara.
The husband would be ruled by the woman who could move independently. Such woman would denounce her husband always throughout the day and night, The woman would always head the families and they would have more importance. All the men would be under the influence of the women and would face defeat everywhere. All the women in the age of Kali would always serve their lovers. They would love the lovers much A women would serve food to her husband with anger in the same day as the food served to a servant. But she would look at the lover with the side-glance and her sight could be filled with nectar. She would look at her husband like poison. Such woman would always feel attracted towards her lover They would man-handle the husbands always but will show enough of grace to the lovers.
They would always remain ready to serve the lovers decorating themselves. In the age of Kali the lovers would be the life of the ladies and would be like brothers, the movement and the In the age of Kali, the adoration of the guests, Visnu, manes and the gods would disappear.
The people would always be envious of Visnu and the Vaisnavas, all the people of the four varnas would get attracted towards Vamdcdra.
The people would remain under the influence of mlecchas and would never touch Sdlagrdma^ Tulasi, kiisa or the water of the Gahga. The Brahmanas also influenced with illusion disown the cause of all the causes, the seed of all, bestower or pleasure and moksa and all the riches would follow the vdma-mantra which is the killer of the Vedas.
The eternal goddess BhagavatT, who is also called Visnumaya, would deprived such Brahmanas of my devotion at my command.
In the age of Kaliyuga I would continue to be adored on earth for ten thousand years and Gahga would flow on earth for five thousand years in Kaliyuga.
Till such time the Gahga flows on the earth, the Tulasi plant, devotion of Visnu and reciting of the Puranas continue you would also continue.
O lord of Vraja, no one would recite my name in Kaliyuga. The Bhilas, the wicked people would become of the same types.
A person should be deprived of the adoration of his parents, the teacher, the gods, Brahmanas and the guest.
The land would be deprived of truthfulness, the trees could be deprived of the fruit and the rivers would be deprived of the water.
The Brahman as would be deprived of the knowledge of the Vedas, the king would become weak. There would be classless society and the king would turn as mlecchas.
The son would torture the father and similarly the pupil would behave with the teacher like a servant. In the house wife would pounce upon the husband like a greedy cock.
In the last phase of Kali all the sinners would get destroyed. Some of them would be destroyed with the scorching heat of sun while others would be destroyed with the over flowing The lord of the Vaisyas, the earth would be destroyed in the Kaliyuga. At the time of creation, the seed of truthfulness women again O Brahmana, in the meantime a divine chariot arrived there, which was five yojanas in length and four joyana^ in width. It had the lustre of the fine crystal gem. It was built with the best of!
gems and was decorated with the garland of| Pdrijdta flowers. It had a number of ornaments made of kaustubha gem. It had the pitchers of valuable gems and the garland of rubies were hanging; it had a crore of chambers in it. It was yoked with a two thousand of candras and two thousand horses, it had a large number of fine silken garments and was surrounded with crores of cowherdesses. The chariot which had arrived from Goloka was witnessed by all the people.
At the command of Sri Krsna, all the people mounted on the chariot and then went to Goloka.
O Narada, Radha and Kalavatl who deserves to be thanked, were never bom from any human womb. Both of them were bom without any human contact. The spouses of s'rutis had appeared in their forms. They also shedding their human bodies went to Goloka. Thereafter Radha also went to Goloka together with the people of O Brahman, on the way they came across the banks of the Viraja river, which were adorned with several types of gems, crossings the Viraja river, they reached the mountains of hundred There, they found the RdsamandalUy which was decorated with the best of gems. The charming Vmdavana filled with flowers, was located at some distance from that place.
The eternal banyan was also seen by them which was three hundred yojana in height and hundred yojana in width and had crores of The fruits of red colour were decorating the tree. The charming Vmda was present under the tree with thousands of cowherdesses.
Finding her there Radha at one, descended from the chariot and went to her gracefully.
Vmda on her, part bowed in reverence to Radha.
Then talking to her she took her to her abode.
Vmda then made Radha to sit on the gem- studded lion throne and she herself started serving at her feet. The seven female friends started moving the white fly-whisks.
The cowherdesses arrived there to have an audience with Radha the great goddess.
Thereafter Radha banged for separate dwelling places for Nanda and others. Thereafter the blissful Radha accompanied by the cowherdesses moved towards her abode.
