Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 86
ततो व्यतीते कल्कौ तु सामात्ये सहसैनिके । नृपेष्वपि च नष्टेषु तदात्वप्रहराः प्रजाः
tato vyatīte kalkau tu sāmātye sahasainike | nṛpeṣvapi ca naṣṭeṣu tadātvapraharāḥ prajāḥ
پھر جب کلکی—اپنے وزیروں اور لشکر سمیت—گزر جائے گا، اور بادشاہ بھی ہلاک ہو جائیں گے، تب اُس زمانے کی رعایا تندخو ہو کر ایک دوسرے پر وار کرنے لگے گی۔
Īśvara (Śiva)
Scene: After the avatāra’s departure, a bleak landscape: abandoned banners, broken weapons, empty thrones; scattered people in panic turning against each other.
