with the Nāga-tīrtha at Puṣkara
अतोन्यस्मिन्भवे भूयान्ममकोपात्सुदारुणात् । भवतां हि क्षयो घोरो भावि वैवस्वतेंतरे
atonyasminbhave bhūyānmamakopātsudāruṇāt | bhavatāṃ hi kṣayo ghoro bhāvi vaivasvateṃtare
Darum wird in einem künftigen Dasein, infolge meines überaus schrecklichen Zorns, wahrlich eine furchtbare Vernichtung über euch kommen, im Zwischenraum der Ära des Vaivasvata Manu.

FAQs
It refers to the period associated with Vaivasvata Manu—i.e., the Vaivasvata manvantara or its interval—used as a cosmic time-marker for when the foretold event will occur.
The wording frames a future consequence triggered by the speaker’s “dreadful anger,” which functions like a curse/prophetic declaration: a destructive outcome is said to manifest at a specified cosmic time.
It warns that uncontrolled anger can become a cause of severe harm and long-reaching consequences, extending even into future births and cosmic epochs.
