Garuda Purana

शालग्रामं विहायैव नमनं ये प्रकुर्वते । ते सर्वे हरिनिन्दायामविकारिण एव हि ॥ ३,१२.

Those who, abandoning the shalagrama, perform worship, all are indeed unchanged in slander of Hari.

मोक्षाधिकारिणो ये तु अज्ञानात्परमेश्वरम् । पार्थक्यनयनं येषु कुर्वन्ति यर्हि वा प्रभो ॥ ३,१२.

Those eligible for liberation who, out of ignorance, regard the Supreme Lord with distinction, whenever, O Lord.

तर्हि तेषां हि कालेषु दुः खं याति न संशयः । अतः प्रार्थक्यनयनं ये कुर्वन्त्येषु सर्वदा ॥ ३,१२.

Then, at those times, suffering comes to them, without doubt; therefore, those who always make distinctions among these.

ते सर्वे त्वबुधा ज्ञेया नात्र कार्या विचारणा । अस्वयंव्यक्तलिङ्गेषु नमनं ये प्रकुर्वते ॥ ३,१२.

All of them should be known as ignorant; there is no need for deliberation here; those who worship in self-manifested lingas.

ते सर्वे ह्यसुरा ज्ञेया नान्यथा तु कथञ्चन । विहाय शून्यमश्वत्थं नमनं ये प्रकुर्वते ॥ ३,१२.

All of them should be known as demons; never otherwise in any way; those who, abandoning the empty ashvattha, perform worship.

द्विमासहीनां तुलसीमप्रसूतां च गां नवाम् । ते सर्वे ह्यसुरा ज्ञेया नात्र कार्या विचारणा ॥ ३,१२.

Those who worship tulasi lacking two months, or a cow not yet calved; all of them should be known as demons; there is no need for deliberation here.

गुल्माद्याश्च मनुष्यान्तास्ते ज्ञेया ब्रह्मबाहवः । अस्मच्छतायुः पर्यन्तमेक एव कलिः स्मृतः ॥ ३,१२.

Shrubs and others up to humans should be known as Brahma's arms; up to our hundred-year lifespan, only one Kali is remembered.

कलौ संति कल्पमानं कलेरन्ते संति च । तस्मिन्दिने ब्रह्मरूपे गच्छन्ति च तमोन्तिकम् ॥ ३,१२.

In Kali, there are those who are approaching the end of the age; at the end of Kali, on that day, they go to the form of Brahma and to the region of darkness.

तत्र स्थित्वा लोकमार्गं प्रतीक्षन्ते न संशयः । साधकैर्विष्णुकार्याणां वायुदासैः प्रपीडिताः ॥ ३,१२.

There, having remained, they await the path to the worlds, without doubt; oppressed by the servants of Vishnu's works and by the servants of Vayu.

शतवर्षानन्तरं च सर्वेषां कलिना सह । वायोर्गदाप्रहारेण लिङ्गभङ्गो भविष्यति ॥ ३,१२.

After a hundred years, together with all in Kali, by the blow of Vayu's mace, the destruction of the lingas will occur.

तमोन्धं प्रविशन्त्येते तारतम्येन सर्वशः । तमस्यन्धेपि संसारे नात्र कार्या विचारणा ॥ ३,१२.

They enter the dense darkness, all in gradation; even in the darkness of samsara, there is no need for deliberation here.

सर्वेषामुत्तमोन्ते यः कलिरेव न संशयः । दूषको विष्णुभक्तानां तत्समो नास्ति सर्वदा ॥ ३,१२.

Among all, Kali is certainly the foremost—there is no doubt; he is the corrupter of devotees of Vishnu, and there is never anyone equal to him.

संसारे वान्धतमसि सर्वत्र हरिदूषकः । मिथ्यादाने ज्ञानबुद्धिर्दुः खे च सुखबुद्धिमान् ॥ ३,१२.

In the darkness of worldly existence, everywhere he defames Hari; he has the intellect of knowledge in false acquisition, and in sorrow he imagines happiness.

तस्मात्कलिसमो लोके शिवभक्तो न कुत्रचित् । दुर्योधनः स एवोक्तो दुः खानन्त्यस्वरूपवान् ॥ ३,१२.

Therefore, in the world, there is never a devotee of Shiva equal to Kali; he is said to be Duryodhana, who possesses the very form of ultimate sorrow.

तस्माच्छतगुणांशेन कलिभार्या तु सर्वदा । अलक्ष्मीरिति विख्याता सा लोके मन्थरा स्मृता ॥ ३,१२.

Therefore, his wife, always possessing a hundred times his qualities, is renowned as Alakshmi, and in the world she is known as Manthara.

तस्माद्दशगुणांशोनो विप्रचित्तिस्तु सर्वदा । जरासंधः स एवोक्तः कालनेमिस्ततः परम् ॥ ३,१२.

Therefore, Vipracitti is always said to possess one-tenth of his qualities; he is called Jarasandha, and after him comes Kalanemi.

तस्माच्छतगुणांशोनः स तु कंसेति विश्रुतः । तस्मात्पञ्चगुणैर्हीनौ मधुकैटभसंज्ञकौ ॥ ३,१२.

Therefore, the one known as Kamsa is famous as possessing one-hundredth part of his qualities; and from him, those called Madhu and Kaitabha are deprived of five parts.

Therefore, Hiranyakashipu is said to possess eight parts; and from him, Hiranyaksha the great asura is deprived of three parts.

Dvapar, called the great laughter, is considered equal to Banasura; and from him, Namuci, the best of daityas, is deprived of ten parts.
