“’And when those terrible times will be over, the creation will begin anew.  And men will again be created and distributed into the four orders beginning with Brahmanas.  And about that time, in order that men may increase, Providence, according to its pleasure, will once more become propitious.  And then when the Sun, the Moon, and Vrihaspati will, with the constellation Pushya[7], enter the same sign, the Krita age will begin again.  And the clouds will commence to shower seasonably, and the stars and stellar conjunctions will become auspicious.  And the planets, duly revolving in their orbits, will become exceedingly propitious.  And all around, there will be prosperity and abundance and health and peace.  And commissioned by Time, a Brahmana of the name of Kalki will take his birth.  And he will glorify Vishnu and possess great energy, great intelligence, and great prowess.  And he will take his birth in a town of the name of Sambhala in an auspicious Brahmana family.  And vehicles and weapons, and warriors and arms, and coats of mail will be at his disposal as soon as he will think of them.  And he will be the king of kings, and ever victorious with the strength of virtue.  And he will restore order and peace in this world crowded with creatures and contradictory in its course.  And that blazing Brahmana of mighty intellect, having appeared, will destroy all things.  And he will be the Destroyer of all, and will inaugurate a new Yuga.  And surrounded by the Brahmanas, that Brahmana will exterminate all the mlecchas wherever those low and despicable persons may take refuge.’”
