Women have no ornament except their tresses and have an enormous appetite.
Though miserable for want of money, they are rich in attachment of various kinds.
Though hankering after happiness they love not piety, stupid as they are. Though they
are poor in wits, their mind is hardened and knows no tenderness. As for men, they are
tormented with diseases and find no enjoyment anywhere. They are conceited and
contend with others without any rhyme or reason. Menís life is short, extending to not
more than five or ten years; yet in their pride they reckon on surviving the end of
creation. The age of Kali has driven men mad: no one respects the sanctity even of oneís
sister or daughter. There is no contentment, nor discernment, nor composure. People of
all classes, whether high or low, have taken to begging. Envy, harsh words and
covetousness are rampant; while evenness of mind is absent. People are all smitten with
bereavement and deep sorrow. The duties and rules of conduct prescribed for the four
orders of society and stages in life are neglected. Self-control, charity, compassion and
wisdom disappear; while stupidity and fraud multiply to a large extent. Men and women
all pamper their body; while slanderers are diffused all over the world. (1ó5)

Listen, O enemy of serpents: the age of Kali is a storehouse of impurities and
vices. But it has many virtues too; final emancipation is possible (in this age) without any
exertion. Moreover, the same goal which is reached through worship of God, performance
of sacrifices or practice of Yoga in the Satyayuga, Tretå and Dvåpara, men are able to
attain through the name of ›r∂ Hari in the Kali age. (102 A-B)
