King Parīkṣit said: My lord, how can persons living in the Age of Kali rid themselves of the cumulative contamination of this age? O great sage, please explain this to me.

King Parīkṣit was a compassionate, saintly ruler. Thus, after hearing of the abominable qualities of the Age of Kali, he naturally inquired as to how those born in this age can free themselves of its inherent contamination.

Translation
King Parīkṣit said: My lord! How will persons living in the age of Kali destroy the heaps of faults of this age? O great sage! Please explain this to me exactly. Vidhamiṣanti means “they will destroy.” Yathā means “as it is.”
