औत्तरेयेण दत्तानि न्यवसत्तन्निदेशकृत् ॥ ४० ॥

amuni panca sthanani hy

adharma-prabhavah kalih

auttareyena dattani

nyavasat tan-nidesakrt

amuni-all those; panca-five; sthanani-places; hi-certainly; adharma-irreligious principles; prabhavah-encouraging; kalih-the age of Kali; auttareyena-by the son of Uttara; dattani-delivered; nyavasat-dwelt; tat-by him; nidesakrt-directed.

TRANSLATION

Thus the personality of Kali, by the directions of Maharaja Pariksit, the son of Uttara, was allowed to live in those five places.

PURPORT

Thus the age of Kali began with gold standardization, and therefore falsity, intoxication, animal slaughter and prostitution are rampant all over the world, and the saner section is eager to drive out corruption. The counteracting process is suggested above, and everyone can take advantage of this suggestion.
