Text 6] Disappearance of Lord Krsna 735
affairs, there is no harmony, even between father and sons or between
husband and wife. But all these contending difficulties can be mitigated
by one process, and that is devotional service of the Lord. The world of
hypocrisy can be checked only by counteraction of devotional service of
the Lord and nothing else. Maharaja Yudhisthira, having observed the
disparities, conjectured the disappearance of the Lord from the earth.

TRANSLATION
In course of time it came to pass that people in general became
accustomed to greed, anger, pride, etc. Maharaja Yudhisthira, observing all
these omens, spoke to his younger brother.
PURPORT
A pious king like Maharaja Yudhisthira at once became perturbed when
there were such inhuman symptoms as greed, anger, irreligiosity and
hypocrisy rampant in society. And it appears from this statement that all
these symptoms of degraded society were unknown to the people of the
time, and it was astonishing for them to have experienced them with the
advent of the Kali-yuga or the age of quarrel.
