Kali-yuga’s Degradation, the Advent of Kalki, and the Reset of the Yuga Cycle
यदावतीर्णो भगवान् कल्किर्धर्मपतिर्हरि: । कृतं भविष्यति तदा प्रजासूतिश्च सात्त्विकी ॥ २३ ॥
yadāvatīrṇo bhagavān kalkir dharma-patir hariḥ kṛtaṁ bhaviṣyati tadā prajā-sūtiś ca sāttvikī
جب دین کے نگہبان بھگوان ہری کلکی کے روپ میں زمین پر اوتار لیں گے، تب کِرت (ستیہ) یُگ کا آغاز ہوگا اور انسانی سماج میں سَتْوَگُن کی حالت میں اولاد پیدا ہوگی۔
This verse states that when Lord Hari descends as Kalki, He will re-establish dharma and the age will turn into Kṛta (Satya-yuga) again.
Śukadeva is concluding his description of time, the yugas, and Kali-yuga’s degradation by revealing how the Lord ultimately intervenes—by appearing as Kalki to restore righteousness.
It encourages steadiness in dharma and devotion despite Kali-yuga conditions, trusting that the Lord’s order and justice prevail over time.
