The son of Mahīnara will be Daṇḍapāṇi, and his son will be Nimi, from whom King Kṣemaka will be born. I have now described to you the moon-god’s dynasty, which is the source of brāhmaṇas and kṣatriyas and is worshiped by demigods and great saints. In this Kali-yuga, Kṣemaka will be the last monarch. Now I shall describe to you the future of the Māgadha dynasty. Please listen.

Translation
The son of Mahīnara will be Daṇḍapāṇi, and his son will be Nimi, from whom King Kṣemaka will be born. I have now described to you the moon-god's dynasty, which is the source of brāhmaṇas and kṣatriyas and is worshiped by devatās and sages. In this Kali-yuga, Kṣemaka will be the last monarch. Now I shall describe to you the future Māgadha dynasty.
This dynasty is respected by the devatās and sages (devarṣi-satkṛtaḥ).
Personal Guidance
Kṣemaka will be the last monarch of the moon dynasty in Kali-yuga. Even great lines come to a 'last monarch' — and the Bhāgavatam tells us in advance.
Reflection Questions
- What endings is the Lord telling me about in advance that I have not yet accepted?
- Where could acceptance now save me from shock later?
