TEXT No. 5

Tavat kalir na prabhavet pravisto api iha sarvatah
Yavat isha mahan urvyam abhimanyava ekarat.


ENGLISH SYNONYMS

Tavat—so long, Kalir—the personality of Kali, No—cannot, Prabhavet—flourish, Pravisto—entered in, Api—even though, Sarvatah—everywhere, Tavat—as long as, Isha—the lord, Mahan—great, Urvyam—powerful, Abhimanyava—the son of Abhimanyu, Ekarat—the one emperor.


TRANSLATION

So long as the most powerful great son of Abhimanyu remains the one emperor of the world there is no chance of flourishing by the personality of Kali.


PURPORT

As we have already explained that the personality of Kali had entered the jurisdiction of this earth long ago and he was looking for an opportunity to spread his influence all over the world. But he could not do so satisfactorily but to the presence of Maharaj Parikshit. That is the way of good government. The disturbing elements like the personality of Kali will always try to extend his nefarious activities but it is the duty of the able state to check them up by all means. Parikshit Maharaj although allotted places for the personality of Kali, he at the same time gave no chance to the citizens to be in favor of the personality of Kali.
