Mbh.1.1.24 | It is called Mahadivya, and was formed at the beginning of the Yuga, in which we are told, was the true light Brahma, the eternal one, the wonderful and inconceivable being present alike in all places; the invisible and subtile cause, whose nature partaketh of entity and non-entity. |

Mbh.3.40.2151 | Arjuna said, O illustrious god having the bull for thy sign, if thou wilt grant me my desire, I ask of thee, O lord that fierce celestial weapon wielded by thee and called Brahmasira, that weapon of terrific prowess which destroyeth, at the end of the Yuga the entire universe, that weapon by the help of which, O god of gods, I may under thy grace, obtain victory in the terrible conflict which shall take place between myself on one side, and Karna and Bhishma and Kripa and Drona on the other, that weapon by which I may consume in battle Danavas and Rakshasas and evil spirits and Pisachas and Gandharvas and Nagas, that weapon which when hurled with Mantras produceth darts by thousands and fierce-looking maces and arrows like snakes of virulent poison, and by means of which I may fight with Bhishma and Drona and Kripa and Karna of ever abusive tongue, O illustrious destroyer of the eyes of Bhaga, even this is my foremost desire, viz, that I may be able to fight with them and obtain success' |
Mbh.3.41.2186 | And the god of justice, of inconceivable soul, the son of Surya, the destroyer of all creatures, with the mace in hand, came there on his car, illuminating the three worlds with regions of the Guhyakas, the Gandharvas and the Nagas, like a second Surya as he riseth at the end of the Yuga. |

Mbh.3.141.7208 | O child, in days of yore, there was once a terrible time in the Krita Yuga when the eternal and primeval Deity assumed the duties of Yama. |
Mbh.3.148.7571 | And in the Krita Yuga, the distinctive characteristics of Brahmanas, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, and Sudras were natural and these ever stuck to their respective duties. |
Mbh.3.148.7577 | The religion consisting in the identification of self with Brahma indicates the Krita Yuga. |
Mbh.3.148.7578 | And in the Krita Yuga, the virtue of the four orders is throughout entire in four-fold measure. |
Mbh.3.148.7579 | Such is the Krita Yuga devoid of the three qualities. |
Mbh.3.148.7580 | Do thou also hear from me of the character of the Treta Yuga. |
Mbh.3.148.7585 | And in the Treta Yuga people begin to devise means for the attainment of an object; and they attain it through acts and gifts. |
Mbh.3.148.7589 | Such are the men of the Treta Yuga. |
Mbh.3.148.7590 | In the Dwapara Yuga, religion decreaseth by one half. |
Mbh.3.148.7601 | On the coming of the Dwapara Yuga, men become degenerate, in consequence of impiety. |
Mbh.3.148.7602 | O son of Kunti, in the Kali Yuga a quarter only of virtue abideth. |
Mbh.3.161.8175 | O Bharata, in the Krita Yuga, men were patient and able in their respective occupations and they knew how to display prowess. |
Mbh.3.187.9302 | Four thousand years have been said to constitute the Krita Yuga. |
Mbh.3.187.9305 | The Yuga that comes next is called Dwapara, and it hath been computed to consist of two thousand years. |
Mbh.3.187.9307 | The next Yuga, called Kali, is said to comprise one thousand years and its dawn, as well as eve, is said to comprise one hundred years. |
Mbh.3.187.9308 | Know, O king, that the duration of the dawn is the same as that of the eve of a Yuga. |
Mbh.3.187.9309 | And after the Kali Yuga is over, the Krita Yuga comes again. |
Mbh.3.187.9330 | And, O tiger among men, at the end of the Yuga, animals increase enormously. |
Mbh.3.188.9479 | And when the end of the Yuga cometh, assuming the fierce form of Death, alone I destroy all the three worlds with their mobile and immobile existences. |
Mbh.3.188.9499 | O king, O thou foremost of the Bharata race, I witnessed all this, so wonderful, O thou foremost of all virtuous men, at the end of the Yuga! |
Mbh.3.189.9510 | And Yudhishthira said, O thou foremost of all speakers, O Muni of Bhrigu's race, that which we have heard from thee about the destruction and re-birth of all things at the end of the Yuga, is, indeed, full of wonder! |
Mbh.3.189.9514 | What will be the period of life at the end of the Yuga? |
Mbh.3.189.9525 | Know, O Yudhishthira, that the period of life, the energy, intellect and the physical strength of men decrease in every Yuga! |
Mbh.3.189.9534 | Even such, O Yudhishthira, will become the state of the world at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.3.189.9539 | And opposed to one another, men will, at such a time, seek one another's lives; and divested of Yuga, people will become atheists and thieves. |
Mbh.3.189.9557 | And no one will ask for a girl for purposes of marriage and no one will give away a girl for such purposes, but the girls will themselves choose their lords, when the end of the Yuga comes. |
Mbh.3.189.9560 | And when the end of the Yuga comes, the right hand will deceive the left; and the left, the right. |
Mbh.3.189.9563 | And towards the end of the Yuga men will cease to trust one another. |
Mbh.3.189.9567 | And all men towards the end of the Yuga will become members of one common order, without distinction of any kind. |

Mbh.3.189.9585 | And when the end of the Yuga comes, urged by their very dispositions, men will act cruelly, and speak ill of one another. |
Mbh.3.189.9590 | And when men will begin to slay one another, and become wicked and fierce and without any respect for animal life, then will the Yuga come to an end. |
Mbh.3.189.9596 | And, at the end of the Yuga, the Sudras will cease to wait upon and serve the Brahmanas. |
Mbh.3.189.9598 | All this will take place at the end of the Yuga, and know that these are the signs of the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.3.189.9599 | And when men become fierce and destitute of virtue and carnivorous and addicted to intoxicating drinks, then doth the Yuga come to an end. |
Mbh.3.189.9600 | And, O monarch, when flowers will be begot within flowers, and fruits within fruits, then will the Yuga come to an end. |
Mbh.3.189.9601 | And the clouds will pour rain unseasonably when the end of the Yuga approaches. |

Mbh.3.189.9625 | And when the end of the Yuga comes, men will cast away and neglect their friends and relatives and attendants. |
Mbh.3.189.9626 | And, O monarch, when the end of the Yuga comes, men abandoning the countries and directions and towns and cities of their occupation, will seek for new ones, one after another. |
Mbh.3.189.9642 | And he will be the Destroyer of all, and will inaugurate a new Yuga. |
Mbh.3.199.10270 | The existence of the gods as stated in the Vedas, the efficacy of acts, and the capacity for action of being furnished with bodies, are noticeable in every Yuga. |
Mbh.3.203.10444 | And enraged, the Asura began to swallow those various weapons that were hurled at him and he vomited from his mouth fiery flames like unto those of the fire called Samvarta that appeareth at the end of the Yuga and by those flames of his, the Asura consumed all the sons of the king and, O tiger among men, like the Lord Kapila of old consuming the sons of king Sagara, the infuriated Asura overwhelming the triple world with the flames vomited from his mouth, achieved that wonderful feat in a moment. |
Mbh.3.311.15222 | SECTION CCCXI Vaisampayana said, Yudhishthira saw his brothers, each possessed of the glory of Indra himself, lying dead like the Regents of the world dropped from their spheres at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.4.62.2433 | And the son of Pandu then created on the field of battle a dreadful river of blood, with waving billows, like unto the river of death that is created by Time at the end of the Yuga, having the dishevelled hair of the dead and the dying for its floating moss and straw, with bows and arrows for its boats, fierce in the extreme and having flesh and animal juices for its mire. |
Mbh.5.48.2727 | When I consume the Kauravas, like Agni consuming innumerable wicked souls assembled together at the time of ushering in another Yuga at the end of the last one, then Dhritarashtra with all his sons repent. |
Mbh.5.51.2915 | Crushing my forces and cutting a passage through them, that mighty armed hero, dancing with mace in hand, will exhibit the scene, witnessed during the universal Dissolution at the end of a Yuga. |
Mbh.5.68.3467 | Endued with divine attributes, Kesava, by the power of his soul causeth the wheel of Time, the wheel of the Universe, and the wheel of the Yuga, to revolve incessantly. |
Mbh.5.74.3731 | These vile individuals, O Krishna, spring up, at the end of each Yuga, in their respective races, for the destruction of their kinsmen. |
Mbh.5.74.3732 | So hath Duryodhana, the very embodiment of sin and the disgrace of his race, been born, at the end of the Yuga, amongst us the Kurus. |
Mbh.5.111.5070 | Hither, on the breast of Himavat always dwelleth Maheswara endued with the effulgence of the fire that blazeth up at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.5.132.5878 | When the king properly abideth by the penal code, without making any portion of it a dead letter, then that best of periods called the Krita Yuga setteth in. |
Mbh.5.132.5881 | Indeed, it is the king that is the cause of also the fourth Yuga viz, the Kali. |
Mbh.5.168.7582 | Resembling the fire at the end of the Yuga as regards his fury, possessed of leonine neck, and endued with great lustre, Aswatthaman will extinguish the embers of this battle between the Bharata's. |
Mbh.5.184.8293 | I, however, with my arrows cut into three fragments that blazing dart rushing against me, and resembling in effulgence the sun that rises at end of the Yuga! |
Mbh.5.185.8350 | I then took up a shaft, resembling the blazing fire that appears at the end of the Yuga, but Rama of immeasurable soul baffled that weapon of mine. |
Mbh.5.187.8397 | Clashing against each other, the two weapons began to blaze forth brightly, showing what happens at the end of the Yuga! |
Mbh.5.197.8809 | Indeed, O tiger among men, that weapon which the Lord of all creatures useth at the end of Yuga for destroying created things, existeth with me. |
Mbh.6.1.28 | Indeed, that encounter of the two armies was highly wonderful, like that of two oceans when the end of the Yuga is arrived. |
Mbh.6.6.382 | It is there that sacrifices have been performed by gods and Rishis on a thousand occasions after the end of the Yuga when creation begins. |
Mbh.6.7.442 | On the summit of Malyavat is always seen, O bull of Bharata's race, the fire called Samvataka which blazeth forth at the end of the Yuga for the destruction of the universe. |
Mbh.6.10.521 | The Yuga that sets in first is Krita. |
Mbh.6.16.834 | Indeed, the two armies facing each other looked like two oceans at the end of the Yuga agitated by fierce Makaras, and abounding with huge crocodiles. |
Mbh.6.35.1663 | Beholding thy mouths that are terrible in consequence of their tusks, and that are fierce as the all-destroying fire at the end of the Yuga, I cannot recognise the points of the horizon nor can I command peace of mind. |
Mbh.6.55.2961 | He is incapable of being vanquished in battle today by any means, judging by his form that we see now so like unto that of the Destroyer himself at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.6.57.2996 | The Dhartarashtras, thus slaughtered in battle by Pritha's son, like the Destroyer himself at the end of the Yuga, still fought perseveringly with the Pandavas. |
Mbh.6.59.3194 | And armed with his discus Vasudeva looked like the Samvarta fire that appears at the end of the Yuga for consuming the world. |
Mbh.6.59.3254 | And the Kurus, with Bhishma, and Drona and Duryodhana and Valhika, exceedingly mangled by the weapons of Arjuna, beholding the sun withdraw his rays, and seeing also that awful and irresistible weapon called after the name of Indra spread out and causing as it were the end of the Yuga to appear, withdraw their forces for the nightly rest. |
Mbh.6.62.3392 | Indeed, O Bharata, putting forth his strength on all sides, mace in arms, we beheld Bhimasena then to resemble Sankara himself dancing at the end of the Yuga, and his fierce, heavy, and sounding mace to resemble the club of Yama and possessed of the sound of Indra's bolt. |
Mbh.6.63.3405 | And pressing crowds of cars and crowds of horsemen down into the earth, Bhima wandered over the field like the fire at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.6.63.3406 | And Pandu's son of infinite prowess crushing crowds of cars with the impetus of his thighs and slaying thy warriors in battle, wandered like the Destroyer himself at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.6.65.3598 | O thou that art busy in creation and destruction, O controller of all wishes, O Supreme Lord, O thou that art the Cause of Amrita, O thou that art All-existent, O thou that art the first that appears at the end of the Yuga, O thou that art the giver of victory, O Divine Lord of the Lord of all creatures, O thou that hast the lotus springing from thy navel, O thou of mighty strength, O thou that art sprung from Thyself, O thou that art the great elements in their primeval state, O thou that art the soul of all religious rites, victory to Thee that givest all. |
Mbh.6.66.3666 | He it is who, towards the close of the Dwapara Yuga and the beginning of the Kali Yuga, is sung of with Sankarshana, by believers with devotion. |
Mbh.6.66.3667 | It is that Vasudeva that createth, Yuga after Yuga, the worlds of the gods and the mortals, all cities girt by the sea, and the region of human habitation, |
Mbh.6.69.3765 | Sikhandin, however, approaching Drona that foremost of all wielders of weapons, avoided, from fear, that warrior resembling the blazing fire that appears at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.6.81.4257 | And that army of thy sons, looking so proud, consisting of combatants of diverse hues and shapes, shouting so fiercely, and capable of slaying hostile warriors, then looked like those masses of clouds that appear at the end of the Yuga |
Mbh.6.83.4346 | The son of Drona however, displaying in that battle the lightness of his arms, cut off that broken blade coming impetuously towards him and resembling in splendour the fire that blazeth forth at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.6.85.4450 | Thereupon Yudhishthira, the son of Dharma, blazed up with wrath, like the fire that blazeth forth at the end of the Yuga for consuming creatures. |
Mbh.6.85.4454 | Filled with wrath and frequently licking the corners of his mouth, Yudhishthira assumed a terrible expression looking like the sun that riseth at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.6.92.4862 | And the Rakshasa, uttering those loud roars resembling the rattle of thunder, assuming a terrible form, and with a blazing spear upraised in hand, and surrounded by many bulls among Rakshasas of fierce forms armed with diverse weapons, advanced, excited with rage and resembling the Destroyer himself at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.6.93.4903 | Filled with wrath and aiming a sharp arrow that resembled the Yuga fire in energy, he sped it at that fierce wanderer of the night. |
Mbh.6.93.4905 | With eyes red in wrath, he once more shouted fiercely, frightening all thy troops, like the clouds that appear at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.6.95.5003 | Beholding those two warriors advance, each like Yama as he shows himself at the end of the Yuga, the mighty-armed Bhimasena, quickly taking up a mace, and jumping down from his car without loss of time, stood immovable like a hill, with that heavy mace resembling the very club of Yama, upraised in battle. |
Mbh.6.96.5088 | That prince of elephants then, thus urged with the hook and the toe, soon assumed the form of the all-destructive Samvarta fire that appears at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.6.101.5417 | Encountering each other in fierce battle, blazing with wrath, endued with great might, and with eyes red in rage, each beheld the other in that battle to resemble the Yuga fire. |
Mbh.6.103.5498 | Pierced by Partha like Death himself at the end of the Yuga, they were unwilling to avoid Partha, resolved as they were on laying down their lives. |
Mbh.6.105.5584 | Those mighty car-warriors, while being slaughtered by Partha in that battle as if by Death himself at the end of the Yuga, all fled away from the field, O king struck with panic, Some abandoning their steeds, some abandoning, O sire, their cars, and others their elephants, fled away in all directions. |
Mbh.6.107.5710 | Then that slayer of hostile heroes, viz, the mighty-armed Vasudeva of Madhu's race beholding that Partha was fighting mildly and that Bhishma was incessantly scattering his arrowy showers in battle, and that stationed between the two hosts, he latter was scorching everything like the Sun himself, smiting down the foremost of Yudhishthira's combatants, and, in fact, achieving feat on Yudhishthira's army like unto what happeneth at the end of the Yuga, could not any longer bear it. |
Mbh.6.107.5734 | Behold this very day that invincible and mighty car-warrior in the act of being thrown down by me, with the greatest ease, like the crescent moon at the end of the Yuga when the destruction of the universe comes. |
Mbh.6.114.6204 | Possessed of the splendour of Yama himself, as he appears at the end of the Yuga, Bhimasena then, with three arrows, despatched unto Death's domain the steeds of the ruler of the Sindhus as also his charioteer. |
Mbh.6.120.6551 | On the other hand, he then seemed to his enemies to resemble in appearance the all-destructive fire that rises at the end of Yuga. |
Mbh.6.120.6565 | And as they rushed towards Phalguni's car, the noise made by them was heard to resemble that made by the ocean itself when it swelleth in rage at the end of the Yuga, Kill, Bring up our forces, Take, Pierce, Cut off, this was the furious uproar heard about Phalguni's car. |
Mbh.7.7.233 | The banner of Partha, possessed of great intelligence, seemed to resemble the blazing Sun that riseth at the end of the Yuga for consuming the world. |
Mbh.7.8.289 | Then Drona, desirous of the prosperity of thy sons, having thus crushed the divisions of Satyaki, and Bhima, and Dhananjaya and Subhadra's son and Drupada, and the ruler of the Kasi, and having ground many other heroes in battle, indeed, that high-souled warrior, having achieved these and many other feats, and having, O chief of the Kurus, scorched the world like the Sun himself as he rises at the end of the Yuga, proceeded hence, O monarch, to heaven. |
Mbh.7.11.445 | Like a change of the Yuga, the death of Bhishma, O child, and the slaughter of the high-souled Drona, overturn the senses. |
Mbh.7.14.543 | That hero, firm in truth, endued with wisdom, and always devoted, besides, to righteousness, caused an awful river of angry current, such as may be seen at the end of the Yuga, to flow there. |
Mbh.7.16.718 | And with Bhima and Karna and Kripa and Drona and Drona's son and Prishata's son and Satyaki, the field of battle looked resplendent like the all-destructive sun that rises at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.7.19.843 | Today I shall slay all these, like Rudra slaying creatures at the end of the Yuga' |
Mbh.7.19.884 | And the car of Vibhatsu in that battle shone fiercely like the car of Rudra himself, while engaged at the end of the Yuga in destroying all creatures. |
Mbh.7.20.935 | And some elephants there, struck by others with their tusks, uttered fierce yells of distress that resounded like the roll of the all-destroying clouds at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.7.30.1601 | Having dried up the Samsaptaka ocean by means of weapons that constituted his rays, the son of Pandu then blasted the Kurus also, as if he were the very Sun that arises at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.7.30.1602 | Indeed, Arjuna scorched all the Kurus by the heat of his weapons, like the fire that appears at the end of the Yuga, burning down all creatures. |
Mbh.7.32.1687 | The Destroyer himself at the end of the Yuga, Jamadagni's valiant son Rama, and Bhimasena on his car, these three, O king, are spoken of as equal. |
Mbh.7.68.2916 | Rooting out all evils from the earth, he caused the primeval Yuga to set in. |
Mbh.7.71.3137 | And that blare made the regents of the cardinal and the subsidiary points, the nether regions, and the whole universe, to shake, as it happens at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.7.78.3466 | And Krishna adored, with speech, mind, understanding, and acts, that God who is the first source of the universe, himself uncreate, the supreme lord of unfading glory: who is the highest cause of the mind, who is space and the wind, who is the cause of all the luminous bodies in the firmament, who is the creator of the rain, and the supreme, primordial substance of the earth, who is the object of adoration, with the gods, the Danavas, the Yakshas, and human beings; who is the supreme Brahma that is seen by Yogins and the refuge of those acquainted with Shastras, who is the creator of all mobile and immobile creatures, and their destroyer also; who is the Wrath that burns everything at the end of the Yuga; who is the supreme soul; who is the Sakra and Surya, and the origin of all attributes. |
Mbh.7.86.3798 | Then, like the Destroyer himself in wrath, or Vasava himself armed with the thunder, or Death's irresistible self armed with his club and urged on by Time, or Mahadeva armed with the trident and incapable of being ruffled, or Varuna bearing his noise, or the blazing fire at the end of the Yuga risen for consuming the creation, the slayer of the Nivatakavachas inflamed with rage and swelling with might, the ever-victorious Jaya, devoted to truth and desirous of achieving his great vow, clad in mail and armed with sword, decked in golden diadem, adorned with garlands of swords of white flowers and attired in white robes, his arms decked with beautiful Angadas and ears with excellent ear-rings, mounted on his own foremost of cars, the incarnate Nara, accompanied by Narayana, shaking his Gandiva in battle, shone brilliantly like the risen sun. |
Mbh.7.88.3897 | Like the Sun, that rises at the end of the Yuga, drying up with his rays, vast quantities of water, the son of Pandu, by his showers of weapons and arrows, slew a vast number of car-warriors and steeds and elephants and foot-soldiers. |
Mbh.7.89.3943 | Then those two foremost of car-warriors, while thus struck by Drona, avoided that invincible warrior, who resembled the raging Yuga fire. |
Mbh.7.90.4081 | And that river was as awful as Death itself at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.7.101.4702 | That loud uproar, O monarch, resounded through the ten points and frightened that host like critical incidents at the end of the Yuga frightening all living creatures. |
Mbh.7.105.4872 | That head, decked with ear-rings of gold, fell on the earth and adorned the field like the sun of brilliant effulgence that rises at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.7.111.5451 | And those two mighty car-warriors scorched each other with their keen shafts, and shone resplendent like two Suns appearing at the end of the Yuga. |
Mbh.7.114.5612 | Checking the Pandavas and the Panchalas then, the Drona fire, blazing up in wrath stayed there, consuming everything, like the sun that rises at the end of the Yuga |
