38. The Glorious Hari will towards the end of Kaliyuga appear as the punisher of Kali, when there will be no talk of Hari's deeds even in the houses of the righteous, when the Pakhandas will form the Brahmin population and Sudras will be the Kings of men, and when the words *Svaha, Svadha*, and *Vashat* will not be heard (i.e., when the sacrifices according to the Vedic ritual will cease to be performed.) 39. At the time of creation, Tapas, Myself, the Rishis, and the nine Prajapatis (progenitors of races); at the time of preservation Dharma, Makha (sacrifice *i.e.*, *Vishnu*), Manus, the gods and kings; and at the time of destruction, Adharma (unrighteousness), Hara (Rudra), Serpents (those that are given to anger and revenge), Asuras and others ;—(these) are the various forms assumed through *Maya* by the Paramatman of boundless powers.
