Jayantī–Kāvyā (Śukra) Saṃvāda: Varadāna and the Ten-Year Concealment
एवं काष्ठामनुप्राप्ताः कलिसंध्यांशके तदा / प्रजाः क्षयं प्रयास्यन्ति सार्द्धं कलियुगेन तु
evaṃ kāṣṭhāmanuprāptāḥ kalisaṃdhyāṃśake tadā / prajāḥ kṣayaṃ prayāsyanti sārddhaṃ kaliyugena tu
Thus, when they reach that extremity in the twilight-portion of Kali, the peoples will pass into decline together with the Kali Yuga itself.
