Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya)

Parashara-Maitreya Dialogue

Speaker: Parasara

Topic: Completion of Kali’s measure and the return of Kṛta-yuga

Teaching: Cosmological

Quality: revealing

Cosmological Context

Yuga: Satya

Manvantara: Vaivasvata

Philosophical Teaching

Concept: Yugas recur in a fixed cycle; after Kali’s completion, Kṛta (Satya) arises again, affirming the ultimately restorative rhythm of dharma.

Vedantic Theme: Dharma

Application: Maintain hope and steadiness: personal dharma can be practiced even in decline, anticipating renewal through sustained devotion.

Vishishtadvaita: The Lord as jagat-kāraṇa governs cyclic renewal; dharma’s restoration is not accidental but an expression of His purposeful order.

Vaishnava Theology

Vishnu Form: Narayana

Bhakti Type: Shanta

Jagat Karana: Yes

Characters & Entities
K
Kṛta Yuga (Satya Yuga)
Y
Yuga cycle
D
Divine years (deva-varṣa)

FAQs

This verse uses deva-varṣa (divine years) as the unit for measuring vast cosmic periods, marking when a Yuga completes and the next begins.

He frames time as cyclical: once the stated count of divine years is fully exhausted, the sequence turns again and Kṛta Yuga reappears.

The recurring restoration of Kṛta Yuga reflects an ordered cosmos governed by the Supreme—Vishnu—who upholds and renews dharma across cycles of time.
