History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c90.43

v7.c90.43

The important points that emerge are briefly these:—I omit the discussion of different interpretations of Jayaswal, Prof. Mankad and Prof. Narain. Kaliyuga started after Draupadi died. In the beginning of Kaliyuga Janamejaya, son of Parīkṣit, would be a famous king but will come in conflict1348d with brāhmaṇas. In Kaliyuga, Udāyi son of Śiśunāga, will found the city of Pāṭaliputra on the south bank of the Ganges, which will come to be called Puṣpapura and which will last for five thousand, five hundred and five years, five months, five days and five muhūrtas In that Puṣpapura there will be a deluded and wicked king called Śaliśūka who will establish at Sāketa his virtuous elder brother named Vijaya. Then the valiant Yavanas, Pañcalas and Māthuras will attack Sāketa and will conquer Kusumapura which had a mud fortification All countries will be disturbed (by this onslaught of the Yavanas) Then non-Aryans will follow the practices of the Aryas. At the end of Kali age brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas, vaisyas will dress alike and have the same practices. People will join heretical sects and will make friends for (seducing their) wives. Śūdras will offer oblations into fire with the syllable 'om' and they will address (others) with the word 'bhoh' and brāhmanas will address others with the words 'O āryas'. The Yavanas will establish five kings in the city (of Pusyapura). The Yavanas will not stay long in Madhyadesa. When the Yavanas will vanish there will be seven powerful kings at Sāketa; in Madhyadeśa there would be bloody wars. All the Āgnivesya kings will perish by war and so will the people.
