King Pareekshith speaks “ Oh! Mune, how did we get rid of the evil effects of Kali era? Kindly describe the Supreme Lord Vishnu as Kalasyeshwararoopa, Yuga, Yugadharma, and the Pralayakalpa.”

Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh! Rajan, The Dharma has four feet, known as Sathyam/truthfulness, Shaucham/austerities,  Dhaya/kindness and Thapas/penance/control over senses.  It was in a perfect state during the Krita Yuga, it was the period people were possessed virtues like Santhushta/contentment, Karuna/compassion, Maithra/companionship, Shantha/serene, Dhantha/good control over senses, Thithikshava/serenity of mind, Athmarama/liberated souls, Samadhrisha/equality, Prayasha/hard work, Shramana/mendicant.  In the Thretha Yuga, the feet of Dharma got hurt; there was Adharma/immorality, Himsa/violence, Anrutham/wickedness, Asanthosha/unhappiness.  In the Dwapara Yuga, Dharma got hurt even more and more, people found pleasure in violence.  In the Kali era, the Dharma will get hurt three fourth of its nature, people will be miser, follow all those unwarranted habits and immoral deeds, selfish, unkind, hatred, ignorant take pride in knowledge.  Oh! Rajan, all that I have explained is the destructible nature of Prakrithi, the supreme soul is void of Thrigunas.  Oh! Rajan, even in this Kali era people whose mind and intellect are filled with Sathvikgunas, follows austerities and vows, contemplates upon the supreme Lord, practice learning scriptures, with this practice they could elevate their souls as in the Krithayuga.  Oh! Rajan, people whose mind and intellect are soaked in Dharma, Artha, Kama lives the life in Thretha Yuga.  People whose mind and intellect are drenched in Lobham/desires, Asanthosham/unhappiness, Manam/pride, Dhambham/ego, would perform all those spiritual and religious rites for fulfilling desires and live a life in Dwapara Yuga.  The People whose mind and intellect are soaked in Moha/lust and desire, Bhaya/fear,  Dhainyam/self-pity, Shokam/grief, Vishadhanam/depression, Himsa/violence, Nidhra/sleep, Anritham/untruthful, lives in the Kali era.  Oh! Rajan, an ignorant forgets the nature of the supreme soul and contemplates upon the supreme Lord to fulfill their desires.”
