The Devas said:: When Kalpa comes to a close, the kings will be destroyed along with their soldiers. Then the subjects will become free from restraint. When the arrangement for defence recedes, they will kill one another in battle. They will remove the wealth and property of one another. They will not have any pleasure in doing so. They will be excessively dejected. They will forsake cities and villages (and stay elsewhere). All their holy rites and devotional observances will become upset. They will have stunted growth. They will not live long. They will be staying in the forests like this resorting to rivers and mountains. They will have only leaves and roots to eat. They will be wearing bark garments, leaves or deer skin. They will be undergoing the terrible difficulties due to mixture of castes. They will be short-lived. Their means of sustenance such as agriculture etc. will be affected. They will have to face many harassments and obstacles. They will be miserable.
