1286 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 4, Ch. 27

at which a man dies. Thus the King of the mlecchas and yavanas requested
the daughter of Time, Kalakanya, to become his sister. There was no
need to ask her to become his wife because the yavanas and mlecchas do
not make distinctions as far as sex life is concerned. Thus one may out-
wardly be a sister, mother or daughter and still have sex. Yavana-raja’s
brother was Prajvara, and Kalakanya was invalidity itself. Combined and
strengthened by the soldiers of Yavana-raja—namely non-hygienic con-
ditions, illicit sex and ultimately a high degree of temperature to bring
on death—they would be able to smash the materialistic way of life. In
this connection it is significant that just as Narada was immune to the
attack of jara, or invalidity, similarly, jara, or the destructive force, cannot
attack any follower of Narada Muni or a pure Vaisnava.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Fourth Canto, Twenty-
seventh Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “Attack by Candavega
on the City of King Purajijana; the Character of Kalakanya.”
