In the Satyayuga everyone is possessed of mystic powers and wise too. Hence in that age men cross the ocean of mundane existence by meditating on Ýr¶ Hari. In the TretŒ age men perform sacrifices of various kinds and cross the ocean of metempsychosis by dedicating their actions to the Lord. In the DvŒpara age men cross the ocean of worldly existence by adoring the feet of Ýr¶ RŒma (the Lord of the Raghus), there being no other means to do it. In the Kali age, however, men reach the end of mundane existence simply by singing Ýr¶ Hari’s praises. In the age of Kali neither Yoga (concentration of mind), nor the performance of sacrifices nor spiritual wisdom is of any avail; one’s only hope lies in hymning Ýr¶ RŒma’s praises. Giving up all other hopes, whosoever worships Ýr¶ RŒma and fondly chants His praises undoubtedly crosses the ocean of transmigration. The power of the Name is thus manifest in the age of Kali. The Kali age possesses another sacred virtue: in this age projected acts of virtue are rewarded, but projected sins are not punished. (1—4)
