During Kaliyuga people indulge in hiṃsâ theft, falsehood, deceit, vanity, etc and delusion, hypocrisy, vanity overshadow the people And dharma becomes very weak in Kaliyuga and people commit sin in mind, speech and actions And works done with whole heart and body sometimes become successful and sometimes not Quarrels, plague, fatal diseases, famines, drought and calamities appear Testimonies and proofs have no certainty There is no criterion left when the Kaliyuga settles down Some die in the womb, some in childhood and some in youth and some in old age People become by and by poorer in vigour and lustre They are wicked, full of anger, sinful, false and avaricious—30 31
