To veil certain truths, the god, the lord of wisdom, himself granted intelligence to various beings. Among them were Sima and Hama, and the renowned Yakuta, as well as Madi, Yunanas, and Tuvalomasaka. Jumra, Dasha, Kanabja, Riphata, and Tajarruma were also named, followed by Ilisha, Taralisha, and Kittihuda. From the second son, Dhamat, four sons were born, and the lands of the foreigners became known through the six sons of Kusha, whose names were celebrated. Among these, Savatika was noted, and Nimarukha, famed for his great strength. Akkada and Vavuna, and those from the Rasana region, were also remembered. After two thousand centuries had passed, having comprehended the lineage, the sage spoke again. For five hundred years, the kingdom was honored by a foreign ruler, and then for four hundred years, Simha’s son held sway. The son of Ivrata was recognized for attaining a position equal to his father. From him, the kingdom was established, and his son Rau was remembered. Rau’s son, Juja, also achieved a stature equal to his father; he ruled as king, subduing many enemies. Juja’s son, Taharas, likewise equaled his father’s greatness. Thus, their lineages have been recounted, mentioned only by name, and their growth during the Kali age has been briefly described. This lineage eventually migrated to another region, and the foreigners became joyless. Upon hearing these accounts, all the sages dwelling in Vishala gathered, and with joy, they devoted themselves to meditation for two hundred years. They performed the rituals of twilight offerings and worshipped the gods, meditating upon Janardana. Vyasa, addressing his fortunate disciple, blessed him: “O wise one, may you live long.” Now, in Avanti, there was a king named Shankha, and in the land of the foreigners, the lord of the Shakas ruled. When the two-thousandth year of Kali arrives, the lineage of the foreigners will flourish. Except for Brahmavarta, the auspicious bank of the Sarasvati remains. Yet, with the coming of the Kali age, worship of the gods and the language of the Vedas will be lost. Instead, dialects of Vraja, Maharashtra, Yavana, and Gurundika will prevail. Words change: water is called ‘paniyam’, drinking water ‘pani’, hunger ‘bhuksha’, and thirst ‘bhukha’. For sacrifice, the pure sound is ‘ishti’; ‘istinī’ purifies meat; ‘ahuti’ becomes ‘aju’, and both ‘dadati’ and ‘dadhati’ are used. Father, paternal ancestor, brother, ‘badara’, and husband are so called. At the knee, the word ‘jainu’ is used, and ‘saptasindhu’ is spoken. On Sunday, ‘sande’ is used, in Phalguna and ‘pharvari’. In those seven holy cities, violence arises. In the lands of the foreigners, intelligent men follow the customs of the foreigners. The rule of the foreigners is declared in Bhārata and on those islands. Hearing this, all the sages wept greatly. Thus, the narration of the kings of Kali Yuga is described. The foreigners arrived at that place, and among them was a twice-born named Kāśyapa.
