THE STORY OF THE INCARNATION

AS KALKI
 

 
वर्णाश्रमवतां धर्मे नष्टे वेदपथे नृणाम् ।

पाखण्डप्रचुरे धर्मे दस्युप्रायेषु राजसु ।

चौर्यानृतवृथाहिंसानानावृत्तिषु वै नृषु ।

इत्थं कलौ गतप्राये जने तु स्वरधर्मिणि ।

धर्मत्राणाय सत्त्वेन भगवानवतरिष्यति ॥

When the Dharma of those that observe

the Varna and Asrama is lost, when the

Vedic path of men has disappeared,

when Dharma has become prodominantly

heretic, when rulers have become more or

less thieves, when men are living through

the various means of theft, falsehood and

wanton violence to others, when the Kali*

age has thus well-advanced towards the

end, when man is essentially violent in

nature, the Lord will incarnate Himself

with His goodness, purity and knowledge,

for saving Dharma.
 

 
* The fourth of aeons, Krita, Treta, Dvapara and

Kali; with the fourth ends one cycle.
