দ্বাপরযুগের অন্তে নারদ হিরণ্যগর্ভ ব্রহ্মার নিকট গেলেন এবং বললেন—“ভগবন, পৃথিবী পরিভ্রমণ করতে করতে আমি কলিকে কীভাবে অতিক্রম করব?” ব্রহ্মা বললেন—“তুমি উত্তম প্রশ্ন করেছ। সকল শ্রুতির গোপন সার শুনো, যার দ্বারা তুমি কলিযুগের সংসার পার হবে। আদিপুরুষ ভগবান নারায়ণের নামমাত্র উচ্চারণেই কলির প্রভাব সংযত ও নিবৃত্ত হয়।”
At the end of the Dvāpara (age), Nārada approached Brahmā (Hiraṇyagarbha) and said: “O Blessed One, while wandering over the earth, how may I cross beyond Kali?” Brahmā replied: “You have asked well. Hear the secret, guarded essence of all revelation, by which you will cross the saṃsāra of Kali: by the mere utterance of the name of Nārāyaṇa, the primordial Person, Kali becomes held at bay (restrained/removed).”
