The sage said:: When their turn comes, when the era becomes abounding in women, the kings will be greedy, miserly and untruthful. The subjects will slowly and little by little decline and decay in regard to length of life, features of the body, physical strength and learning. When the subjects thus reach the lowest point (of deterioration) the kings and emperors will be over-whelmed by Kāla (God of Time, or death) and they will be ruined. Struck down, by Kalki, all the Mlecchas will face destruction.
