6.2.38
parāśara uvāca:
tataḥ saṃpūjya te vyāsaṃ praśaśaṃsuḥ punaḥ punaḥ
yathāgataṃ dvijā jagmur vyāsoktikṣatasaṃśayāḥ //
The Munis then saluted and praised Vyása, and, being freed by him from uncertainty, departed as they came. To you also, excellent Maitreya, have I imparted this secret, this one great virtue of the otherwise vicious Kali age. The dissolution of the world, and the aggregation of the elements, I will now describe to you.
