People become poorer in vigor and luster.They are wicked, full of anger, sinful, false, and avaricious.Bad ambitions, bad education, bad dealings, and bad earnings excite fear.The whole batch becomes greedy and untruthful.Many sudras will become kings, and many heretics will be seen.There will arise various sects; sannyasins wearing clothes colored red.Many profess to have supreme knowledge because, thereby, they will easily earn their livelihood.In the Kali Age, there will be many false religionists.India will become desolate by repeated calamities, short lives, and various diseases.Everyone will be miserable owing to the dominance of vice and Tamoguna.People will freely commit abortion.Earth will be valued only for her mineral treasures.Money alone will confer nobility.Power will be the sole definition of virtue.Pleasure will be the only reason for marriage.Lust will be the only reason for womanhood.Falsehood will win out in disputes.Being dry of water will be the only definition of land.Praise worthiness will be measured by accumulated wealth. IPropriety will be considered good conduct, and only feebleness will be the reason for unemployment.Boldness and arrogance will be equivalent to scholarship.Only those without wealth will show honesty. Just a bath will amount to purification, and charity will be the only virtue.Abduction will be marriage.Simply to be well dressed will signify propriety.Any hard-to-reach water will be deemed a pilgrimage site.
