ईश्वर उवाच । षट्त्रिंशे च कलौ वर्षे संप्राप्तेऽन्धकवृष्णयः । अन्योन्यं मुशलैस्ते हि निजघ्नुः कालनोदिताः
īśvara uvāca | ṣaṭtriṃśe ca kalau varṣe saṃprāpte'ndhakavṛṣṇayaḥ | anyonyaṃ muśalaiste hi nijaghnuḥ kālanoditāḥ
Wika ni Īśvara: Nang dumating ang ika-tatlumpu’t anim na taon ng Kali, ang mga Andhaka at Vṛṣṇi—uudyok ng Panahon—ay nagpatayan sa isa’t isa gamit ang mga pamalo.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī
Scene: Īśvara narrates: in the 36th year of Kali, the Andhakas and Vṛṣṇis, driven by Time, kill one another with clubs—an austere, fated battlefield without external enemy.
When kāla ripens karma, even kin turn against kin; the verse warns against pride and heedlessness as Time completes its decree.
The narrative belongs to Prabhāsakṣetra’s sacred history, associated with Yādavasthala in the Prabhāsa region.
None; it is historical-cosmological narration marking the Kali timeline.
