TRANSLATION

In one kalpa, or one day of Brahma, there take place the many
changes called vikalpas. O King, all of these have been previously
described to you by me. Learned scholars who know the past, pres-
ent and future have ascertained that in one day of Brahma there
are fourteen Manus.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Eighth Canto, Fourteenth
Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “The System of Universal
Management.”
