Translation

As such the personality of Kali was allowed by the direction of King Maharaj Parikshit the son of Uttara, to live in those five places as described above.

Purport

Thus the age of Kali began with gold standardisation and therefore falsity, intoxication, animal slaughter and prostitution are rampant all over the world and the saner section is eager to drive out corruption from all over the wored. The counter acting process is suggested above and everyone can take advantage of the suggestion.
