*sūta uvāca
evamukto manustena papraccha madhusūdanam
bhagavankiyadbhirvarṣair bhaviṣyatyantarakṣayaḥ //

Sûta, continuing his narration, said, that, on hearing such words of the Lord, the king begged Him to reveal to him in how many years the time of destruction was likely to come. The king also entreated the Lord to point out to him the means of saving the creation from such a distress, and to let him know when he would again be fortunate enough to meet Him face to face.—1-2.
