Kalkala, pl. (āḥ), a people. § 574 (Jamhūkh.): VI, 9v, 369 (in the south; only C., B. has Valkalāḥ). Kalkin, a brahman. § 460 (Mārkaṇḍeyas.): When the Sun, the Moon, and Bṛhaspati (i.e. the planet Jupiter) simultaneously enter the constellation of Pushya, the Kṛta age will begin again (v. 13099), and commissioned by Time a brahman named Kalkin Vishṇuyaças (cf. the note of PCR.), born in Samhhalagrāma, in the house of a brahman, will, surrounded by brahmans, exterminate all the Mleccha crowds (III, 190). Having exterminated the thieves and the robbers, K. will, at a great horse sacrifice, duly give away this earth to the brahmans and then enter a delightful forest, and the Kṛtayuga will be re-established. This is said in the Purāṇa (praised by the rshis) which is narrated by Vāyu: III, 190, 13101 (°i Vishṇuyaça nāma); 191, 13111 (°i B., C. has °iḥ).—§ 717b (Nārāyaṇīya): XII, 340, 12968 (the tenth avatāra of Vishṇu).
