Description

The Bhavishya Purana is an ancient text authored by Sri Vyasa Muni,
the compiler of the Vedic texts. It is listed among the eighteen major
Puranas. Bhavishya means “future” and Purana means “history”, so the
text’s name would translate literally as “The History of the Future”. Though
the text was written many thousands of years before the recorded events
took place, by the power of his mystic vision, Sri Vyasa was able to
accurately predict the happenings of the modern times. One of the text’s
poetic styles is to present the events as though they have already
happened. This is a common practice in Sanskrit poetry, and does not
indicate that the book was written in modern times. Modern scholars reject
the contents of Bhavishya Purana mostly on the grounds that its
information is too accurate. But we should ask ourselves: If there was an
empowered saint, who knew past, present and future, and if he chose to
write a book named “the History of the Future”, shouldn’t it contain accurate
Page 2 of 30
information about the modern times, as the title suggests? We cannot
disqualify it simply because it speaks accurately of the British controlling
India, Hitler fighting the world, and Max Mueller misrepresenting the Vedic
teachings. “Veda” means knowledge, and the Vedic texts contain
knowledge of everything – past, present and future.
This Purana consists of 7 chapters:
[From the Pratisarga Parva, Chapters Four to Seven.]
Suta Goswami said: Once upon a time in Hastinapura, Pradyota the
son of Kshemaka was leading an assembly and meanwhile the great sage
Narada arrived there. King Pradyota happily honored him. Having him
seated on the seat the sage told king Pradyota, “Your father was killed by
the mlecchas, therefore he attained Yamaloka or the hellish planet. If you
perform a ‘mleccha-yajna’, then by the effect of this sacrifice your father will
attain the heavenly planets.”

Hearing this king Pradyota immediately called the best of the learned
Brahmanas and started ‘mleccha-yajna’ in Kuruksetra. They built a yajna-kunda which was 16 yojanas in square (128 miles). They meditated on the
demigods and offered oblations of mlecchas. There are haras, hunas,
barvaras, gurundas, sakas, khasas, yavanas, pallavas, romajas and those
who are situated in different dvipas and in kamaru, china and the middle of
the ocean; all of them were called with the mantra and burnt to ashes. Then
he (the king) gave dakshina (donation) to the brahmanas and performed
abhiseka. As a result his father Kshemaka went to the heavenly planets.
After that he became famous everywhere as a mleccha-hanta or destroyer
Page 3 of 30

of mlecchas. He ruled the earth for ten thousand years and went to heaven.
He had a son named Vedavan who ruled for two thousand years.
At that time the Kali purusha prayed to Lord Narayana along with his
wife. After sometime the Lord apperared to him and said, “This age will be
a good time for you. I will fulfil your desire having various kinds of forms.
There is a couple named Adama and his wife Havyavati. They are born
from Vishnu-kardama and will increase the generations of mlecchas.
Saying this, the Lord disappeared. Having great joy the Kali purusha went
to Nilacha
Vyasa said: “Now you hear the future story narrated by Suta
Goswami. This is the full story of of Kali-yuga, hearing this you will become
satisfied.”
In the eastern side of Pradan city where there is a a big God-given
forest, which is 16 square yojanas in size. The man named Adama was
staying there under a Papa-Vriksha or a sinful tree and was eager to see
his wife Havyavati. The Kali purusha quickly came there assuming the form
of a serpent. He cheated them and they disobeyed Lord Vishnu. The
husband ate the forbidden fruit of the sinful tree. They lived by eating air
with the leaves called udumbara. After they had sons and all of them
became mlecchas. Adama’s duration of life was nine-hundred and thirty
years. He offered oblations with fruits and went to heaven with his wife. His
son was named Sveta-nama, and he lived nine-hundred and twelve years.
Sveta-nama’s son was Anuta, who rulled one-hundred years less than his
father. His son Kinasa rulled as much as his grandfather. His son Malahalla
Page 4 of 30

ruled eight-hundred ninety five years. His son Virada rulled 160 years. His
son Hamuka was devoted to Lord Vishnu, and offering oblations of fruits he
achieved salvation. He ruled 365 years and went to heaven with the same
body being engaged in mleccha-dharma.
Having good behavior, wisdom, qualities like a brahmana and
worship of God, these things are called mleccha-dharma. The great souls
have declared that the dharma of the mleccha is devotion to God, worship
of fire, nonviolence, austerity and control of the senses. The son of
Hamuka was Matocchila. He ruled for 970 years. His son Lomaka ruled
777 years and went to heaven. His son Nyuha (Noah) ruled for 500 years.
He had three sons named Sima, Sama and Bhava. Nyuha was a devotee
of Lord Vishnu.
Once the Lord appeared in his dream and said: “My dear Nyuha,
please listen, there will be devastation on the seventh day. Therefore, you
have to be very quick that you make a big boat and ride in it. O chief of the
devotees, you will be celebrated as a great king”.
Then he made a strong boat which was 300 feet long, 50 feet wide
and 30 feet high. It was beautiful and all the living entities could take shelter
in it. He then himself rode in it, engaged in meditating on Lord Vishnu.
Lord Indra called the devastating cloud named Sambartaka and
poured heavy rain continuously for 40 days. The whole earth, Bharat-varsa,
had merged in the water and four oceans came up together. Only Visala or
Badarikasrama was not submerged. There were 80,000 great
Page 5 of 30
transcendentalists in Visala who joined with king Nyuha and his family. All
of them were saved and everything else was destroyed.
At that time all the sages praised the eternal energy of Lord Vishnu.
Being pleased by the prayers of the sages, the Vishnu-maya reduced the
waters of devastation. After one year gradually the earth become visible.
Under the hill there is a place named Sisina and the king was situated in
that place with his other people. When the water completely dried up, king
Nyuha came back to his place.

Suta Goswami continued: The mleccha, king Nyuha became
attached to Lord Vishnu and as a result Lord Vishnu increased his
generation. Then he created a language fit for the mlecchas, unfavorable to
the Vedas. He named it as brahmi-bhasha, or brahmi language, full of bad
words, for increasing the degradation of Kali-yuga. The Lord who is Himself
the master of intelligence gave this language to Nyuha. Nyuha named his
tree sons opposite. They were known as Sima, Hama, Yakuta and also
Yakuta, Sapta putra, Jumara and Majuya. The name of their countries were
known as Madi, Yunana, Stuvaloma, Tasa and Tirasa.
Hama who was the second son of his father, had four sons know as
Kusa, Misra, Kuja and Kanaam. Kusa had six sons – Havila, Sarva,
Toragama, Savatika, NimaruhaI and Mahavala. Their sons were known as
Kamala, Sinara and Uraka. And their countries names are Akvada, Bavuna
and Rasana.
Page 6 of 30
After telling this story Suta Goswami influenced by Yoga-nidra
entered mystic slumber. He woke up after two thousand years and
thereupon he said: “Now I’m going to say about the generation of Sima.
Because he was the first son of his father he became the king. This
mleccha king ruled over the country for 500 years. His son Arkansoda ruled
for 434 years. His son Sihla ruled for 460 years. His son Iratasya ruled the
same length as his father. His son Phataja ruled for 240 years. His son Rau
ruled for 237 years. His son Juja ruled the same length as his father. His
son Nahura ruled for 160 years, and he destroyed his many inimical kings.
His son Tahara ruled the same length as his father. He had three sons:
Avirama, Nahura and Harana. Thus I have explained the generation of
mlecchas with the indication of their names only. The mleccha language is
considered the lowest language because it bears the curse of goddess
Sarasvati. Thus I have summarily narrated the rise of the mlecchas in Kali-yuga.
Sanskrt is the language by which the whole Bharata-Varsa is being
praised and glorified. The same language, after going to another country
became the mleccha language and mlecchas took advantage of it.

After hearing all this, the sages situated in Badarikashrama,
worshipped Lord Nara-Narayana and meditated upon them for 200 years.
When they woke up from their meditation, they inquired from their teacher
Suta Goswami:
“O disciple of Sri Vyasa, you are so fortunate and greatly intelligent,
may you live long. Now please tell us who is the king at the present time?”
Page 7 of 30
Suta Goswami said: “At the present time, the Kali-yuga has already passed
its 3000 years. Now the king Sankha is ruling the earth and in the mleccha
countries the king named Sakapat is ruling. Please hear about how they
came up.”
When the Kali-yuga passed 2000 years, the dynasty of mlecchas
increased. They created many paths to grow and gradually the whole earth
become full of mlecchas. The spiritual master and teacher of the mlecchas
was named Musa. He was residing on the bank of the river Sarasvati, and
he spread his doctrince throughout the whole world. As soon as Kali-yuga
started, the devotion to the Lord and the language of the Vedas were
destroyed. There are four kinds of mleccha languages: Vraja-bhasa,
Maharastri, Yavani and Garundika. In this way there are four million kinds
of other languages.
For example: paniyam (water) is called pani, bubhuksa-hunger is
called bhukh. Paniyam-drinking is called papadi and bhojanam-eating si
called kakkanam. Isti is called suddharava, istini is called masapavani,
ahuti is called aju and dadati is called dadhati. The word pitri is called
paitara and bhrata is bather and also pati. This is the yavani lanugage in
which the asva is called aspa, Janu is jainu and sapta-sindhu is called
sapta-hindu.
Now you hear about Gurundika language. Ravi-vara (the first day of
the week) is called sunday, phalguna and chaitra months are called
pharvari (February). Sasti is called sixty, these kinds of examples are there.
Page 8 of 30

Crime is becoming prominent in the holy place of Sapta-puri. Gradually
the people of Aryavata are becoming theives, hunters, bhillas and fools.
The followers of mleccha-dharma in foreign countries are intelligent and
having good qualities, whereas the people of Aryavarta are bereft of good
qualities. Thus the ruling of mlecchas is also in Bharata (India) and its
islands. Knowing all this, O great and intelligent sage, you should just
perform the devotional service to Lord Hari.
The great sage Saunaka inquired: “Please tell us, what was the reason
that the mlecchas did not arrive in Brahmavarta.
Suta Goswami said: That was by the influence of goddess Sarasvati
that they could not enter that place. By the order of the demigods, when the
Kali-yuga pursued his 1,000 years, a brahmana named Kasyapa come
down to earth from the heavenly planets with his wife Aryavatil. They had
ten spotless sons who are known by the names: Upadhayaya, Diksita,
Pathaka, Sukla, Misra, Agnihotri, Dvi-vedi, Tri-vedi, Catur-vedi and Pandey.
Among them was the learned one full of knowledge. He went to Kashmir
and worshipped goddess Sarasvati with red flowers, red akshata (rice),
incense, lamps, naivedya (food offerings) and puspanjali (flower offerings).
To please her he praised her with some prayers, asking her for better
knowledge of Sankrt to put mlecchas into illusion. Being pleased by his
prayers she remainded situated in his mind and blessed him with
knowledge. Then the sage went to the country known as Misra and put all
the mlecchas into illusion by the greace of goddess Sarasvati.
Page 9 of 30
Then he made 10,000 people as dvijas or twice born brahmanas; he
made 2,000 people into vaishyas; and the rest of them as shudras. He
came back with them and staying in Arya-desha (India) he engaged in the
activites of the sages. They were known as Aryans and by the grace of
goddess Sarasvati their generation gradually increased upto 4 million, both
the men and women with their sons and grandsons. Their king, Kasyapa
muni, ruled the earth for 120 years.

There were 8,000 sudras in the county known as Rajputra (Rajput)
and their king was Arya-prithu. His son was Magadha. The sage made him
a king and left.
Saunaka inquired: “O disciple of Vyasa, O Lomaharsana, please tell
us who were the kings to rule the earth in Kali-yuga, after Magadha?”
Suta Goswami said: When king Magadha, the son of Kasyapa was
ruling the earth, he remembered his father’s administration and he
separated the Arya-desha (India) into many states. The state which is on
the eastern side of Pancala is known as Magadha, the state of Kalinga is
on the east-south side, the state of Avanta is in the south, Amarta-desha is
to the south-west, Sindhu-desha is on the western side, Kaikaya is to the
north-west, Madra-desha is in the north, and Koninda-desha is to the north-east. These states are named according to his sons’ names. After
performing a sacrifice he gave the states to his sons. Lord Balabhadra
became pleased with his sacrifice, and Sisunaga appeared from the
sacrifice as his son. He ruled for 100 years and his son Kakavarma ruled
for 90 years. His son Kshemadharma ruled for 80 years and his son ruled
Page 10 of 30
for 70 years. His son Vedamisra ruled for 60 years. His son Ajata-nipu
ruled for 50 years. His son Darbhaka ruled for 40 years, his son Udayasva
ruled for 30 years, his son Nanda-Vardhana ruled for 20 years, his son
Nanda-suta, who was born from the womb of a sudri or a low class lady,
also ruled for 20 years. His son Pranancala ruled for 10 years. His son
Parananda also ruled 10 years. His son Samananda ruled for 20 years. His
son Priyananta ruled for 20 years, his son Devananda also ruled for 20
years. his son Yajna-bhanga ruled for 10 years. His son Mauryananda
ruled for 10 years. And his son Mahananda fuled for 10 years.
At this time Lord Hari was remembered by Kali. At that time the great
and famous Gautama, the son of Kasyapa introduced the Buddhist religion,
and attained Lord Hari in Pattana.

Gautama ruled over 10 years. From him Shakya muni was born, who
ruled 20 years. His son Shuddhodana ruled 30 years. His son
Shakyasimha became the king on Satadri after 2000 years and he ruled for
60 years, by which time all the people were Buddhists. This was the first
position of Kali-yuga and the Vedic religion was destroyed.
If Lord Vishnu becomes a king then all the people would follow Him.
The activities of the world are carried out by the prowess of Lord Vishnu.
He is the master of maya or the illusory energy and whoever takes shelter
of that Lord Hari, though he may be a sinful and abominable person, will
become liberated.
Page 11 of 30
Buddha-simha was born from Shakyasimha and he ruled for only 30
years. Buddha-simha’s son was Chandra-gupta, who married with a
daughter of Suluva, the Yavana king of Pausasa. Thus he mixed the
Buddhists and yavanas. He ruled for 60 years. From him Vindusara was
born and ruled for the same number of years as his father. His son was
Ashoka. At this time the best of the brahmanas, Kanyakubja, performed
sacrifice on the top of a mountain named Arbuda. By the influence of Vedic
mantras, four Kshatriyas appeared form the yajna. Among these four
Pramara was samavedi, Chapahani was yajurvedi, Shukla was trivedi and
Pariharaka was the Atharvavedi. They were accustomed to ride on
elephants. They kept Ashoka under their control and annihilated all the
Buddhists. It is said there were 4 million Buddhists and all of them were
killed by uncommon weapons. After that Pramara became king in Avanta
and he constructed a large city called Ambavati for his happiness. It was as
big as 4 yojanas or about 32 miles.
Then Suta Goswami said: “My dear brahmanas I’m being influenced
by yoga-nidra, therefore, please go to your respective ashramas and
meditate on Lord Vishnu.”

After the completion of 2,000 years, Suta Goswami said: When the
kali-yuga had passed his 3,710 years, at that time the king was Pramara
who rulled 6 years, from him Mahamada was born. He ruled 3 years and
his son Devapi did the same. His son Devaduta also did the same. From
him Gandharva-sena was born, who went to the forest after ruling for over
50 years and having given his kingdom to his son Shankha. Shankha ruled
for over 30 years. Lord Indra sent a heavenly girl to Gandharva-sena
Page 12 of 30
named Viramati. A jewel like son was born form her womb. At the time of
his birth, there were flowers raining from the sky, many auspicious
instruments were played and the wind was blowing pleasingly. The name of
the baby was Siva-drishti, who later left for the jungle with his disciples.
After 20 years he became perfect in Karma-yoga. When kali-yuga
copmleted 3,000 years, the terrible symptoms of kali had appeared. That
baby took birth in the secret place of Kailasa, by the benediction of Lord
Shiva, to destroy the shakas and to increase the Arya-dharma or the Vedic
reigion. His father Gandharva-sena named his son as Vikramaditya and
become happy. This child was very intelligent and very pleasing to his
parents. When he was 5 years old, he left for the forest to perform
austerities and he continued it upto 12 years. After 12 years he went to the
holy city named Ambavati with all the opulence and accepted the
transcendental throne sent by Lord Shiva. For his security goddess Parvati
created a Vetala (a king of ghosts) and sent it to king Vikramaditya’s
palace. Once the powerful king went to the temple of Lord Shiva named as
Mahakaleshvara, who is the chief of the devas, and who has a bow named
Pinaka. There he worshipped Lord Shiva. In that place he built a religious
council hall with the pillars made of various metals and decorated with
many kinds of jewels and covered with so many plants and creepers and
flowers. In that hall he kept a celestial throne. He invited the foremost
brahmanas who are well-versed in Vedic knowledge, worshipped them with
proper hospitality and heard many religious histories from them. After that
one demigod named Vitala come there having a form of a brahmana.
Glorifying and blessing the king, he sat down on the seat and said: O
master of this earthly planet, king Vikramaditya, if you are very eager to
hear them I will describe the stories and histories to you.

Thus ends the seventh chapter of the Pratisarga Parva of the
Bhavishya Purana.
[From the third part of the Pratisarga Parva.]
Shri Suta Gosvami said: In the dynasty of king Shalivahana, there
were ten kings who went to the heavenly planets after ruling for over 500
years. Then gradually the morality declined on the earth. At that time
Bhojaraja was the tenth of the kings on the earth. When he saw that the
moral law of conduct was declining he went to conquer all the directions of
his country with ten-thousand soldiers commanded by Kalidasa. He
crossed the river Sindhu and conquered over the gandharas, mlecchas,
shakas, kasmiris, naravas and sathas. He punished them and collected a
large ammount of wealth. Then the king went along with Mahamada
(Mohammad), the preceptor of mleccha-dharma, and his followers to the
great god, Lord Shiva, situated in the desert. He bathed Lord Shiva with
Ganges water and worshipped him in his mind with pancagavya (milk,
ghee, yoghurt, cow dung, and cow urine) and sandalwood paste, etc. After
he offered some prayers and pleased him.
Suta Goswami said: After hearing the king’s prayers, Lord Shiva said:
O king Bhojaraja, you should go to the place called Mahakakshvara, that
land is called Vahika and now is being contaminated by the mlecchas. In
that terrible country there no longer exists dharma. There was a mystic
demon named Tripura, whom I have already burnt to ashes, he has come
again by the order of Bali. He has no origin but he achieved a benediction
from me. His name is Mahaoda and his deeds are like that of a ghost.
Page 14 of 30
Therefore, O king, you should not go to this land of the evil ghost. By my
mercy your intelligence will be purified. Hearing this the king came back to
his country and Mahamada came with them to the bank of the river Sindhu.
He was expert in expanding illusion, so he said to the king very pleasingly:
O great king, your god has become my servant. Just see, as he eats my
remnants, so I will show you. The king became surprised when he saw this
just before them. Then in anger Kalidasa rebuked Mahamada, “O rascal,
you have created an illusion to bewilder the king, I will kill you, you are the
lowest…”

That city is known as their site of pilgrimage, a place which was
Madina or free from intoxication. Having a form of a ghost (Bhuta), the
expert illusionist Mahamada appeared at night in front of king Bhojaraja
and said: O king, your religion is of course known as the best religion
among all. Still I am going to establish a terrible and demoniac religion by
the order of the Lord. The symptoms of my followers will be that they first of
all will cut their genitals, have no shikha, but having beard, be wicked,
make noise loudly and eat everything. They should eat animals without
performing any rituals. This is my opinion. They will perform purificatory act
with the musala or a pestle as you purify your things with kusha. Therefore,
they will be known as musalman, the corrupters of religion. Thus the
demoniac religion will be founded by me. After having heard all this the king
came back to his palace and that ghost went back to his place.
Page 15 of 30
The intelligent king, Bhojaraj established the language of Sanskrit in
three varnas – the brahmanas, kshatriyas and vaisyas – and for the shudras
he established prakrita-bhasha, the ordinary language spoken by common
men. After ruling his kingdom for 50 years, he went to the heavenly planet.
The moral laws established by him were honored even by the demigods.
The arya-varta, the pious land is situated between Vindhyacala and
Himacala or the mountains known as Vindhya and Himalaya. The Aryans
reside there, but varna-sankaras reside on the lower part of Vindhya. The
musalman people were kept on the other side of the river Sindhu.
On the island of Barbara, Tusha and many others also the followers of
Isamsiha were also situated as they were managed by a king or demigods.
[From the 29th chapter of the Pratisarga Parva.]

Long ago in the country known as Citrartha, the inhabitants of the
heavenly planets used to come to play during the time of autumn. One day
a heavenly apsara know as Manjughosha came to that place where the
sage Shuka was residing. Seeing this beautiful boy, she tried to attract him
while singing and dancing, being overwhelmed by lusty desires. She
praised him with a beautiful prayer holding her hands and bowing down.
Somehow, she pleased the muni. Then the glorious Shuka, hearing this
auspicious prayer asked her to request a benediction. Manjughosha
humbly said: ”O lord, you are the protector of those who came to your
shelter, therefore I’m at your shelter, please become my husband”. The
sage accepted her and after some time they produced a son named ‘Muni’
who performed austerity very strictly upto 12 years. He married the
daughter of Svarnadeva, the god of gold. They gave birth to a daughter
Page 16 of 30
named Kinnari. She was very young and beautiful. She performed austerity
to please Lord Shiva, and as a benediction lord Shiva intrusted her to a
sober sage Makaranda.
Then her father, Muni, asked lord Shiva to bless her, so that they will
successfully make progress in this world.
Lord Shiva said: Upto 30 years you will enjoy your country in the
middle of the earth, then it will be destroyed. After hearing this Muni went to
his place with Makaranda and resided there. As soon as the 29th year
started the battle took place among those kings who took birth as the
incarnations of the associates of Krishna. Bauddha, the lord of nyuhas (the
lessened people) attacked the beautiful city of Netrapala, thinking that this
city is wonderfully decorated with various kinds of jewels. The powerful king
Bauddha-simha who had seven-million soldiers, fought with those kings
who had only three million soldiers. The fight went on terribly between the
armies for seven days and nights. The great powerful kings, who killed all
the inimical armies protected by Baudha-simha, were Yoga-simha, Bhoga-simha and Vijaya.

The sage (Saunka) said: “O great fortunate one, you know everything
please tell us about the kings who came after Mahiraja.
Suta Goswami said: The ghostly Kutukoddina, with human nature,
was situated in the kingdom of Delhi. The best king Bhapasena, the
grandson of Virasena was situated in the beautiful city of Aligarh. This city
Page 30 of 30
was protected by yadavas. Kutukaddin with ten-thousand warriors went
there and defeated him and returned to Delhi. Then so many kings form
other countries came there and defeated him and rejected him from their
countries. When Shahoddina heard this, he came to Delhi, conquered the
kings and broke all the deities. After that so many mlecchas came from all
sides and ruled the kingdom for 5, 6 or 7 years. They had destroyed the
places of pilgrimage and the temples, therefore as a reaction they become
short-lived. From today, the mleccha kings will continue for a hundred
years, therefore O sages, you should quickly go to Vishala
(Badarikashrama) with me.
Then all the sages sadly left this place (Naimisaranya) and went to
Vishala, the best of the Himalayas and meditated upon Lord Hari, being in
samadhi (trance). And after a hundred years all of them attained the
kingdom of God

Description

The Bhavishya Purana is an ancient text authored by Sri Vyasa Muni,
the compiler of the Vedic texts. It is listed among the eighteen major
Puranas. Bhavishya means “future” and Purana means “history”, so the
text’s name would translate literally as “The History of the Future”. Though
the text was written many thousands of years before the recorded events
took place, by the power of his mystic vision, Sri Vyasa was able to
accurately predict the happenings of the modern times. One of the text’s
poetic styles is to present the events as though they have already
happened. This is a common practice in Sanskrit poetry, and does not
indicate that the book was written in modern times. Modern scholars reject
the contents of Bhavishya Purana mostly on the grounds that its
information is too accurate. But we should ask ourselves: If there was an
empowered saint, who knew past, present and future, and if he chose to
write a book named “the History of the Future”, shouldn’t it contain accurate
Page 2 of 30
information about the modern times, as the title suggests? We cannot
disqualify it simply because it speaks accurately of the British controlling
India, Hitler fighting the world, and Max Mueller misrepresenting the Vedic
teachings. “Veda” means knowledge, and the Vedic texts contain
knowledge of everything – past, present and future.
This Purana consists of 7 chapters:
[From the Pratisarga Parva, Chapters Four to Seven.]
Suta Goswami said: Once upon a time in Hastinapura, Pradyota the
son of Kshemaka was leading an assembly and meanwhile the great sage
Narada arrived there. King Pradyota happily honored him. Having him
seated on the seat the sage told king Pradyota, “Your father was killed by
the mlecchas, therefore he attained Yamaloka or the hellish planet. If you
perform a ‘mleccha-yajna’, then by the effect of this sacrifice your father will
attain the heavenly planets.”

Hearing this king Pradyota immediately called the best of the learned
Brahmanas and started ‘mleccha-yajna’ in Kuruksetra. They built a yajna-kunda which was 16 yojanas in square (128 miles). They meditated on the
demigods and offered oblations of mlecchas. There are haras, hunas,
barvaras, gurundas, sakas, khasas, yavanas, pallavas, romajas and those
who are situated in different dvipas and in kamaru, china and the middle of
the ocean; all of them were called with the mantra and burnt to ashes. Then
he (the king) gave dakshina (donation) to the brahmanas and performed
abhiseka. As a result his father Kshemaka went to the heavenly planets.
After that he became famous everywhere as a mleccha-hanta or destroyer
Page 3 of 30

of mlecchas. He ruled the earth for ten thousand years and went to heaven.
He had a son named Vedavan who ruled for two thousand years.
At that time the Kali purusha prayed to Lord Narayana along with his
wife. After sometime the Lord apperared to him and said, “This age will be
a good time for you. I will fulfil your desire having various kinds of forms.
There is a couple named Adama and his wife Havyavati. They are born
from Vishnu-kardama and will increase the generations of mlecchas.
Saying this, the Lord disappeared. Having great joy the Kali purusha went
to Nilacha
Vyasa said: “Now you hear the future story narrated by Suta
Goswami. This is the full story of of Kali-yuga, hearing this you will become
satisfied.”
In the eastern side of Pradan city where there is a a big God-given
forest, which is 16 square yojanas in size. The man named Adama was
staying there under a Papa-Vriksha or a sinful tree and was eager to see
his wife Havyavati. The Kali purusha quickly came there assuming the form
of a serpent. He cheated them and they disobeyed Lord Vishnu. The
husband ate the forbidden fruit of the sinful tree. They lived by eating air
with the leaves called udumbara. After they had sons and all of them
became mlecchas. Adama’s duration of life was nine-hundred and thirty
years. He offered oblations with fruits and went to heaven with his wife. His
son was named Sveta-nama, and he lived nine-hundred and twelve years.
Sveta-nama’s son was Anuta, who rulled one-hundred years less than his
father. His son Kinasa rulled as much as his grandfather. His son Malahalla
Page 4 of 30

ruled eight-hundred ninety five years. His son Virada rulled 160 years. His
son Hamuka was devoted to Lord Vishnu, and offering oblations of fruits he
achieved salvation. He ruled 365 years and went to heaven with the same
body being engaged in mleccha-dharma.
Having good behavior, wisdom, qualities like a brahmana and
worship of God, these things are called mleccha-dharma. The great souls
have declared that the dharma of the mleccha is devotion to God, worship
of fire, nonviolence, austerity and control of the senses. The son of
Hamuka was Matocchila. He ruled for 970 years. His son Lomaka ruled
777 years and went to heaven. His son Nyuha (Noah) ruled for 500 years.
He had three sons named Sima, Sama and Bhava. Nyuha was a devotee
of Lord Vishnu.
Once the Lord appeared in his dream and said: “My dear Nyuha,
please listen, there will be devastation on the seventh day. Therefore, you
have to be very quick that you make a big boat and ride in it. O chief of the
devotees, you will be celebrated as a great king”.
Then he made a strong boat which was 300 feet long, 50 feet wide
and 30 feet high. It was beautiful and all the living entities could take shelter
in it. He then himself rode in it, engaged in meditating on Lord Vishnu.
Lord Indra called the devastating cloud named Sambartaka and
poured heavy rain continuously for 40 days. The whole earth, Bharat-varsa,
had merged in the water and four oceans came up together. Only Visala or
Badarikasrama was not submerged. There were 80,000 great
Page 5 of 30
transcendentalists in Visala who joined with king Nyuha and his family. All
of them were saved and everything else was destroyed.
At that time all the sages praised the eternal energy of Lord Vishnu.
Being pleased by the prayers of the sages, the Vishnu-maya reduced the
waters of devastation. After one year gradually the earth become visible.
Under the hill there is a place named Sisina and the king was situated in
that place with his other people. When the water completely dried up, king
Nyuha came back to his place.

Suta Goswami continued: The mleccha, king Nyuha became
attached to Lord Vishnu and as a result Lord Vishnu increased his
generation. Then he created a language fit for the mlecchas, unfavorable to
the Vedas. He named it as brahmi-bhasha, or brahmi language, full of bad
words, for increasing the degradation of Kali-yuga. The Lord who is Himself
the master of intelligence gave this language to Nyuha. Nyuha named his
tree sons opposite. They were known as Sima, Hama, Yakuta and also
Yakuta, Sapta putra, Jumara and Majuya. The name of their countries were
known as Madi, Yunana, Stuvaloma, Tasa and Tirasa.
Hama who was the second son of his father, had four sons know as
Kusa, Misra, Kuja and Kanaam. Kusa had six sons – Havila, Sarva,
Toragama, Savatika, NimaruhaI and Mahavala. Their sons were known as
Kamala, Sinara and Uraka. And their countries names are Akvada, Bavuna
and Rasana.
Page 6 of 30
After telling this story Suta Goswami influenced by Yoga-nidra
entered mystic slumber. He woke up after two thousand years and
thereupon he said: “Now I’m going to say about the generation of Sima.
Because he was the first son of his father he became the king. This
mleccha king ruled over the country for 500 years. His son Arkansoda ruled
for 434 years. His son Sihla ruled for 460 years. His son Iratasya ruled the
same length as his father. His son Phataja ruled for 240 years. His son Rau
ruled for 237 years. His son Juja ruled the same length as his father. His
son Nahura ruled for 160 years, and he destroyed his many inimical kings.
His son Tahara ruled the same length as his father. He had three sons:
Avirama, Nahura and Harana. Thus I have explained the generation of
mlecchas with the indication of their names only. The mleccha language is
considered the lowest language because it bears the curse of goddess
Sarasvati. Thus I have summarily narrated the rise of the mlecchas in Kali-yuga.
Sanskrt is the language by which the whole Bharata-Varsa is being
praised and glorified. The same language, after going to another country
became the mleccha language and mlecchas took advantage of it.

After hearing all this, the sages situated in Badarikashrama,
worshipped Lord Nara-Narayana and meditated upon them for 200 years.
When they woke up from their meditation, they inquired from their teacher
Suta Goswami:
“O disciple of Sri Vyasa, you are so fortunate and greatly intelligent,
may you live long. Now please tell us who is the king at the present time?”
Page 7 of 30
Suta Goswami said: “At the present time, the Kali-yuga has already passed
its 3000 years. Now the king Sankha is ruling the earth and in the mleccha
countries the king named Sakapat is ruling. Please hear about how they
came up.”
When the Kali-yuga passed 2000 years, the dynasty of mlecchas
increased. They created many paths to grow and gradually the whole earth
become full of mlecchas. The spiritual master and teacher of the mlecchas
was named Musa. He was residing on the bank of the river Sarasvati, and
he spread his doctrince throughout the whole world. As soon as Kali-yuga
started, the devotion to the Lord and the language of the Vedas were
destroyed. There are four kinds of mleccha languages: Vraja-bhasa,
Maharastri, Yavani and Garundika. In this way there are four million kinds
of other languages.
For example: paniyam (water) is called pani, bubhuksa-hunger is
called bhukh. Paniyam-drinking is called papadi and bhojanam-eating si
called kakkanam. Isti is called suddharava, istini is called masapavani,
ahuti is called aju and dadati is called dadhati. The word pitri is called
paitara and bhrata is bather and also pati. This is the yavani lanugage in
which the asva is called aspa, Janu is jainu and sapta-sindhu is called
sapta-hindu.
Now you hear about Gurundika language. Ravi-vara (the first day of
the week) is called sunday, phalguna and chaitra months are called
pharvari (February). Sasti is called sixty, these kinds of examples are there.
Page 8 of 30

Crime is becoming prominent in the holy place of Sapta-puri. Gradually
the people of Aryavata are becoming theives, hunters, bhillas and fools.
The followers of mleccha-dharma in foreign countries are intelligent and
having good qualities, whereas the people of Aryavarta are bereft of good
qualities. Thus the ruling of mlecchas is also in Bharata (India) and its
islands. Knowing all this, O great and intelligent sage, you should just
perform the devotional service to Lord Hari.
The great sage Saunaka inquired: “Please tell us, what was the reason
that the mlecchas did not arrive in Brahmavarta.
Suta Goswami said: That was by the influence of goddess Sarasvati
that they could not enter that place. By the order of the demigods, when the
Kali-yuga pursued his 1,000 years, a brahmana named Kasyapa come
down to earth from the heavenly planets with his wife Aryavatil. They had
ten spotless sons who are known by the names: Upadhayaya, Diksita,
Pathaka, Sukla, Misra, Agnihotri, Dvi-vedi, Tri-vedi, Catur-vedi and Pandey.
Among them was the learned one full of knowledge. He went to Kashmir
and worshipped goddess Sarasvati with red flowers, red akshata (rice),
incense, lamps, naivedya (food offerings) and puspanjali (flower offerings).
To please her he praised her with some prayers, asking her for better
knowledge of Sankrt to put mlecchas into illusion. Being pleased by his
prayers she remainded situated in his mind and blessed him with
knowledge. Then the sage went to the country known as Misra and put all
the mlecchas into illusion by the greace of goddess Sarasvati.
Page 9 of 30
Then he made 10,000 people as dvijas or twice born brahmanas; he
made 2,000 people into vaishyas; and the rest of them as shudras. He
came back with them and staying in Arya-desha (India) he engaged in the
activites of the sages. They were known as Aryans and by the grace of
goddess Sarasvati their generation gradually increased upto 4 million, both
the men and women with their sons and grandsons. Their king, Kasyapa
muni, ruled the earth for 120 years.

There were 8,000 sudras in the county known as Rajputra (Rajput)
and their king was Arya-prithu. His son was Magadha. The sage made him
a king and left.
Saunaka inquired: “O disciple of Vyasa, O Lomaharsana, please tell
us who were the kings to rule the earth in Kali-yuga, after Magadha?”
Suta Goswami said: When king Magadha, the son of Kasyapa was
ruling the earth, he remembered his father’s administration and he
separated the Arya-desha (India) into many states. The state which is on
the eastern side of Pancala is known as Magadha, the state of Kalinga is
on the east-south side, the state of Avanta is in the south, Amarta-desha is
to the south-west, Sindhu-desha is on the western side, Kaikaya is to the
north-west, Madra-desha is in the north, and Koninda-desha is to the north-east. These states are named according to his sons’ names. After
performing a sacrifice he gave the states to his sons. Lord Balabhadra
became pleased with his sacrifice, and Sisunaga appeared from the
sacrifice as his son. He ruled for 100 years and his son Kakavarma ruled
for 90 years. His son Kshemadharma ruled for 80 years and his son ruled
Page 10 of 30
for 70 years. His son Vedamisra ruled for 60 years. His son Ajata-nipu
ruled for 50 years. His son Darbhaka ruled for 40 years, his son Udayasva
ruled for 30 years, his son Nanda-Vardhana ruled for 20 years, his son
Nanda-suta, who was born from the womb of a sudri or a low class lady,
also ruled for 20 years. His son Pranancala ruled for 10 years. His son
Parananda also ruled 10 years. His son Samananda ruled for 20 years. His
son Priyananta ruled for 20 years, his son Devananda also ruled for 20
years. his son Yajna-bhanga ruled for 10 years. His son Mauryananda
ruled for 10 years. And his son Mahananda fuled for 10 years.
At this time Lord Hari was remembered by Kali. At that time the great
and famous Gautama, the son of Kasyapa introduced the Buddhist religion,
and attained Lord Hari in Pattana.

Gautama ruled over 10 years. From him Shakya muni was born, who
ruled 20 years. His son Shuddhodana ruled 30 years. His son
Shakyasimha became the king on Satadri after 2000 years and he ruled for
60 years, by which time all the people were Buddhists. This was the first
position of Kali-yuga and the Vedic religion was destroyed.
If Lord Vishnu becomes a king then all the people would follow Him.
The activities of the world are carried out by the prowess of Lord Vishnu.
He is the master of maya or the illusory energy and whoever takes shelter
of that Lord Hari, though he may be a sinful and abominable person, will
become liberated.
Page 11 of 30
Buddha-simha was born from Shakyasimha and he ruled for only 30
years. Buddha-simha’s son was Chandra-gupta, who married with a
daughter of Suluva, the Yavana king of Pausasa. Thus he mixed the
Buddhists and yavanas. He ruled for 60 years. From him Vindusara was
born and ruled for the same number of years as his father. His son was
Ashoka. At this time the best of the brahmanas, Kanyakubja, performed
sacrifice on the top of a mountain named Arbuda. By the influence of Vedic
mantras, four Kshatriyas appeared form the yajna. Among these four
Pramara was samavedi, Chapahani was yajurvedi, Shukla was trivedi and
Pariharaka was the Atharvavedi. They were accustomed to ride on
elephants. They kept Ashoka under their control and annihilated all the
Buddhists. It is said there were 4 million Buddhists and all of them were
killed by uncommon weapons. After that Pramara became king in Avanta
and he constructed a large city called Ambavati for his happiness. It was as
big as 4 yojanas or about 32 miles.
Then Suta Goswami said: “My dear brahmanas I’m being influenced
by yoga-nidra, therefore, please go to your respective ashramas and
meditate on Lord Vishnu.”

After the completion of 2,000 years, Suta Goswami said: When the
kali-yuga had passed his 3,710 years, at that time the king was Pramara
who rulled 6 years, from him Mahamada was born. He ruled 3 years and
his son Devapi did the same. His son Devaduta also did the same. From
him Gandharva-sena was born, who went to the forest after ruling for over
50 years and having given his kingdom to his son Shankha. Shankha ruled
for over 30 years. Lord Indra sent a heavenly girl to Gandharva-sena
Page 12 of 30
named Viramati. A jewel like son was born form her womb. At the time of
his birth, there were flowers raining from the sky, many auspicious
instruments were played and the wind was blowing pleasingly. The name of
the baby was Siva-drishti, who later left for the jungle with his disciples.
After 20 years he became perfect in Karma-yoga. When kali-yuga
copmleted 3,000 years, the terrible symptoms of kali had appeared. That
baby took birth in the secret place of Kailasa, by the benediction of Lord
Shiva, to destroy the shakas and to increase the Arya-dharma or the Vedic
reigion. His father Gandharva-sena named his son as Vikramaditya and
become happy. This child was very intelligent and very pleasing to his
parents. When he was 5 years old, he left for the forest to perform
austerities and he continued it upto 12 years. After 12 years he went to the
holy city named Ambavati with all the opulence and accepted the
transcendental throne sent by Lord Shiva. For his security goddess Parvati
created a Vetala (a king of ghosts) and sent it to king Vikramaditya’s
palace. Once the powerful king went to the temple of Lord Shiva named as
Mahakaleshvara, who is the chief of the devas, and who has a bow named
Pinaka. There he worshipped Lord Shiva. In that place he built a religious
council hall with the pillars made of various metals and decorated with
many kinds of jewels and covered with so many plants and creepers and
flowers. In that hall he kept a celestial throne. He invited the foremost
brahmanas who are well-versed in Vedic knowledge, worshipped them with
proper hospitality and heard many religious histories from them. After that
one demigod named Vitala come there having a form of a brahmana.
Glorifying and blessing the king, he sat down on the seat and said: O
master of this earthly planet, king Vikramaditya, if you are very eager to
hear them I will describe the stories and histories to you.

Thus ends the seventh chapter of the Pratisarga Parva of the
Bhavishya Purana.
[From the third part of the Pratisarga Parva.]
Shri Suta Gosvami said: In the dynasty of king Shalivahana, there
were ten kings who went to the heavenly planets after ruling for over 500
years. Then gradually the morality declined on the earth. At that time
Bhojaraja was the tenth of the kings on the earth. When he saw that the
moral law of conduct was declining he went to conquer all the directions of
his country with ten-thousand soldiers commanded by Kalidasa. He
crossed the river Sindhu and conquered over the gandharas, mlecchas,
shakas, kasmiris, naravas and sathas. He punished them and collected a
large ammount of wealth. Then the king went along with Mahamada
(Mohammad), the preceptor of mleccha-dharma, and his followers to the
great god, Lord Shiva, situated in the desert. He bathed Lord Shiva with
Ganges water and worshipped him in his mind with pancagavya (milk,
ghee, yoghurt, cow dung, and cow urine) and sandalwood paste, etc. After
he offered some prayers and pleased him.
Suta Goswami said: After hearing the king’s prayers, Lord Shiva said:
O king Bhojaraja, you should go to the place called Mahakakshvara, that
land is called Vahika and now is being contaminated by the mlecchas. In
that terrible country there no longer exists dharma. There was a mystic
demon named Tripura, whom I have already burnt to ashes, he has come
again by the order of Bali. He has no origin but he achieved a benediction
from me. His name is Mahaoda and his deeds are like that of a ghost.
Page 14 of 30
Therefore, O king, you should not go to this land of the evil ghost. By my
mercy your intelligence will be purified. Hearing this the king came back to
his country and Mahamada came with them to the bank of the river Sindhu.
He was expert in expanding illusion, so he said to the king very pleasingly:
O great king, your god has become my servant. Just see, as he eats my
remnants, so I will show you. The king became surprised when he saw this
just before them. Then in anger Kalidasa rebuked Mahamada, “O rascal,
you have created an illusion to bewilder the king, I will kill you, you are the
lowest…”

That city is known as their site of pilgrimage, a place which was
Madina or free from intoxication. Having a form of a ghost (Bhuta), the
expert illusionist Mahamada appeared at night in front of king Bhojaraja
and said: O king, your religion is of course known as the best religion
among all. Still I am going to establish a terrible and demoniac religion by
the order of the Lord. The symptoms of my followers will be that they first of
all will cut their genitals, have no shikha, but having beard, be wicked,
make noise loudly and eat everything. They should eat animals without
performing any rituals. This is my opinion. They will perform purificatory act
with the musala or a pestle as you purify your things with kusha. Therefore,
they will be known as musalman, the corrupters of religion. Thus the
demoniac religion will be founded by me. After having heard all this the king
came back to his palace and that ghost went back to his place.
Page 15 of 30
The intelligent king, Bhojaraj established the language of Sanskrit in
three varnas – the brahmanas, kshatriyas and vaisyas – and for the shudras
he established prakrita-bhasha, the ordinary language spoken by common
men. After ruling his kingdom for 50 years, he went to the heavenly planet.
The moral laws established by him were honored even by the demigods.
The arya-varta, the pious land is situated between Vindhyacala and
Himacala or the mountains known as Vindhya and Himalaya. The Aryans
reside there, but varna-sankaras reside on the lower part of Vindhya. The
musalman people were kept on the other side of the river Sindhu.
On the island of Barbara, Tusha and many others also the followers of
Isamsiha were also situated as they were managed by a king or demigods.
[From the 29th chapter of the Pratisarga Parva.]

Long ago in the country known as Citrartha, the inhabitants of the
heavenly planets used to come to play during the time of autumn. One day
a heavenly apsara know as Manjughosha came to that place where the
sage Shuka was residing. Seeing this beautiful boy, she tried to attract him
while singing and dancing, being overwhelmed by lusty desires. She
praised him with a beautiful prayer holding her hands and bowing down.
Somehow, she pleased the muni. Then the glorious Shuka, hearing this
auspicious prayer asked her to request a benediction. Manjughosha
humbly said: ”O lord, you are the protector of those who came to your
shelter, therefore I’m at your shelter, please become my husband”. The
sage accepted her and after some time they produced a son named ‘Muni’
who performed austerity very strictly upto 12 years. He married the
daughter of Svarnadeva, the god of gold. They gave birth to a daughter
Page 16 of 30
named Kinnari. She was very young and beautiful. She performed austerity
to please Lord Shiva, and as a benediction lord Shiva intrusted her to a
sober sage Makaranda.
Then her father, Muni, asked lord Shiva to bless her, so that they will
successfully make progress in this world.
Lord Shiva said: Upto 30 years you will enjoy your country in the
middle of the earth, then it will be destroyed. After hearing this Muni went to
his place with Makaranda and resided there. As soon as the 29th year
started the battle took place among those kings who took birth as the
incarnations of the associates of Krishna. Bauddha, the lord of nyuhas (the
lessened people) attacked the beautiful city of Netrapala, thinking that this
city is wonderfully decorated with various kinds of jewels. The powerful king
Bauddha-simha who had seven-million soldiers, fought with those kings
who had only three million soldiers. The fight went on terribly between the
armies for seven days and nights. The great powerful kings, who killed all
the inimical armies protected by Baudha-simha, were Yoga-simha, Bhoga-simha and Vijaya.

The sage (Saunka) said: “O great fortunate one, you know everything
please tell us about the kings who came after Mahiraja.
Suta Goswami said: The ghostly Kutukoddina, with human nature,
was situated in the kingdom of Delhi. The best king Bhapasena, the
grandson of Virasena was situated in the beautiful city of Aligarh. This city
Page 30 of 30
was protected by yadavas. Kutukaddin with ten-thousand warriors went
there and defeated him and returned to Delhi. Then so many kings form
other countries came there and defeated him and rejected him from their
countries. When Shahoddina heard this, he came to Delhi, conquered the
kings and broke all the deities. After that so many mlecchas came from all
sides and ruled the kingdom for 5, 6 or 7 years. They had destroyed the
places of pilgrimage and the temples, therefore as a reaction they become
short-lived. From today, the mleccha kings will continue for a hundred
years, therefore O sages, you should quickly go to Vishala
(Badarikashrama) with me.
Then all the sages sadly left this place (Naimisaranya) and went to
Vishala, the best of the Himalayas and meditated upon Lord Hari, being in
samadhi (trance). And after a hundred years all of them attained the
kingdom of God
