Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 176
कृते तु मानसी सृष्टिर्वृत्तिः साक्षाद्रसोल्लसा । तेजोमय्यः प्रजास्तृप्ताः सदानंदाश्च भोगिनः
kṛte tu mānasī sṛṣṭirvṛttiḥ sākṣādrasollasā | tejomayyaḥ prajāstṛptāḥ sadānaṃdāśca bhoginaḥ
Sa Kṛta Yuga, ang paglikha ay wari’y isinilang ng isipan, at ang kabuhayan ay tuwirang nagningning, hitik sa diwa at lasa. Ang mga nilalang ay likás na maningning, nasisiyahan, laging nasa kagalakan, at nakalalasap ng biyaya nang walang kakulangan.
Mahākāla
Listener: Karaṃdhama
Scene: A radiant Kṛta-yuga scene: beings glowing with tejas, abundant nature, effortless sustenance, serene faces; a sense of mind-born creation and direct ‘rasa’ in livelihood; Mahākāla narrates as a cosmic historian.
