Thereafter at the conjunction of two Yugas the Lord of the creation will take His birth as Kalki incarnation becoming the son of Vishnu Joshi, when the rulers of the earth shall convert into almost to the rank of the plunderers.

Purport

Here is another foretelling of the advent of Lord Kalki the incarnation of Godhead. He is to appear at the conjunction of the two Yugas namely by the end of Kali Yuga and by the beginning of Satya Yuga. The cycle of the four Yugas namely satya, treta, dwapara and Kali change in rotation like the calender months. The present Kaliyuga is to stand for 432000 four lacs and thirtytwo thousands of years. Out of which we have passed only 5000 five thousands of years after the battle of Kurukshetra and by the end of the regime of King Parikshit. So there are 427000 years balance yet to be finished. Therefore at the end of further four lacs of years the incarnation of Kalki will take place and that is also foretold in the Srimad Bhagwatam. His father's name Vishnu Joshi a learned Brahmin and the village Sambhal are also mentioned. As above mentioned all these foretellings will prove to be factual in chronological order. That is the authority of Shrimad Bhagwatam.
