Shloka 19
प्रवर्तनाद् द्वापरस्य यथाभागमुपाश्षुते । कले: प्रवर्तनादू राजा पापमत्यन्तमश्लुते,द्वापर उपस्थित करनेसे उसे यथाभाग पुण्य और पापका फल प्राप्त होता है; परंतु कलियुगकी प्रवृत्ति करनेसे राजाको अत्यन्त पाप (कष्ट) भोगना पड़ता है
pravartanād dvāparasya yathābhāgam upāśnute | kaleḥ pravartanād rājā pāpam atyantam aśnute ||
使德瓦帕罗时代运转者，统治者将按其应得之分，兼受功德与过失之果；而若开启迦梨时代之途，国王便招致极重之罪，必受其严酷报应。此言昭示治国之伦理重负：君主之行可守持均衡之秩序，亦可放出衰败之世，而其苦果终将反噬始作俑者。

Educational Q&A
A ruler bears special karmic responsibility for the moral direction of society: sustaining a balanced order yields mixed results in proportion, but unleashing Kali-like degeneration brings overwhelming demerit and suffering upon the instigator.
Vāyudeva addresses a king, contrasting the consequences of promoting conditions akin to Dvāpara (relative balance) versus triggering Kali (decline). The statement functions as a warning about governance that accelerates social and ethical breakdown.
