Shloka 22
Kali-yuga’s Degradation, the Advent of Kalki, and the Reset of the Yuga Cycle
तेषां प्रजाविसर्गश्च स्थविष्ठ: सम्भविष्यति । वासुदेवे भगवति सत्त्वमूर्तौ हृदि स्थिते ॥ २२ ॥
teṣāṁ prajā-visargaś ca sthaviṣṭhaḥ sambhaviṣyati vāsudeve bhagavati sattva-mūrtau hṛdi sthite
സത്ത്വമൂർത്തിയായ ഭഗവാൻ വാസുദേവൻ അവരുടെ ഹൃദയത്തിൽ വസിക്കുമ്പോൾ, ശേഷിക്കുന്ന പ്രജകളുടെ സന്താനസൃഷ്ടി അത്യന്തം സമൃദ്ധമാകും; ഭൂമി വീണ്ടും ജനസമൃദ്ധിയാകും।
