Sūta said:: The acceptance (of characteristic features etc.) of the Kali age is based on the residue of the Sandhyāṃśa of Dvāpara. Violence, jealousy, untruth, Māyā (deception) and murder of ascetics—these are the characteristic features of Kali age. (Of course) the subjects achieve (certain things) and that is the entire Dharma. Dharma declines. It is doubtful whether agricultural activities flourish despite the activities, mental, eulogistic and physical. There are fatal sicknesses in the Kali age and there is the perpetual headache of hunger and fear.
