āsannaṃ viprakṛṣṭaṃ vā yadi kālaṃ na vidmahe tasmād dvāparavidhvaṃsād yugāntaṃ spṛhayāmy aham
Whether the time be near or far off, if we do not know it — therefore, because of that destruction of the Dvāpara age, I long for the end of the yuga.

प्राप्ता वयं हि तं कालम् अनया धर्मतृष्णया प्राप्ता वयं च धर्मं स्वं सुखम् अल्पेन कर्मणा
prāptā vayaṃ hi taṃ kālam anayā dharmatṛṣṇayā prāptā vayaṃ ca dharmaṃ svaṃ sukham alpena karmaṇā
For we have reached that time through this thirst for dharma, and we have attained our own dharma, and happiness, by little effort.

The end of the yuga, which brings terror to creatures, has arrived; therefore, now that the terrifying end of the yuga has come upon us, O knower of dharma, you should tell by its signs of the dharma that has perished.

At the destruction of the age kings will not be kshatriyas, brahmins will live off shudras, and shudras will follow the conduct of brahmins. Shudras will practise (the brahmin's) dharma at the end of the age, Janamejaya; and men who carry weapons and vedic scholars, O bull of the Bharatas, will eat the oblations seated in one and the same row at the end of the age, Janamejaya.

Men will be craftsmen, devoted to falsehood, fond of liquor and meat; dull-witted, they will destroy the highest dharma. At the end of the age, Janamejaya, wives will be (their only) friends. The clouds will hold little water and the earth little grain; thieves will hold the conduct of kings, and kings will behave like thieves; at the destruction of the age servants will eat without having earned it.

Riches will be praised, the conduct of the good unhonoured; in the Kali age women too will do the ploughing; at the destruction of the age there will be no censure of one who has fallen. In the Kali age ascetics will always be without calm; mortals, their wits lost, will go with hair unbound and without topknots; men will then beget offspring at under sixteen years.

At the destruction of the age the countries will be aṭṭaśūla, the crossroads śivaśūla, and women keśaśūla. 'Aṭṭa' is said to mean food, and 'śūla' is called selling; 'crossroads' means brahmin, and 'śiva' is declared to be the Veda; 'keśa' is known as the vulva — of this, king, there is no doubt. All will speak brahman, all will be Vājasaneyins; and at the destruction of the age shudras will address (brahmins) with 'bho'.

So too two-year-old (bullocks) will be broken to the yoke, and ponds will be ploughed up; when the age is worn away the rain-god will rain unevenly. All will be born in the family of thieves, robbing one another; the wretched will grow rich on very little, getting whatever they can; those men will not practise dharma when the age has run out. The land will be full of salt flats, the roads will run between towns, and in the Kali age everyone will be a trader.

Then sons, squandering the offerings due to the ancestors, will set about seizing (them), driven by greed and falsehood into conflict. Sons, always wasting the wealth given by their fathers, take to seizing it out of greed, speaking untruth. When delicacy, beauty, and jewels have dwindled away, at the end of the age women will adorn themselves with their hair alone.

In the rainy season there will be (only) winds; men will be base, raining down gravel; and at the destruction of the age the other world will be held in doubt. Of evil conduct themselves, bent on reviling the sacred word, they think much of themselves, and mere anger overtakes the twice-born. Kshatriyas will follow the conduct of vaishyas, living by wealth and grain; and at the first departure of the age the twice-born will become (like them).
