ENGLISH SYNONYMS

TRANSLATION

The great sage Vyasdeva saw anomalies in the acts of the millennium, as it so happens in different ages, on the earth by the unseen forces of the course of time.


PURPORT

The great sages like Vyasdeva are liberated souls and therefor they can see clearly past and future. Thus he could see the future anomalies in the Kali age and accordingly he made arrangement for the people in general so that they can execute a progressive life in this age which is full of darkness. The people in general of this age of Kali are too much interested in matter which is temporary. On account of ignorance they are unable to evaluate the assets of life and be enlightened in spiritual knowledge.
