SB 1.14.3 (1965): He saw that direction of the eternal time had changed and it was very fearful. There were discrepancies in the seasonal regulations. The people in general had become too much greedy, angry and accustomed to falsehood. And he saw also that the people in general had adopted foul means of livelihood.
SB 1.14.4 (1965): All ordinary transactions and dealings become poluted with cheating; even they are mixed up with cheatings between a friend and friend.

SB 1.14.5 (1965): In course of time it has come to happen that people in general have become accustomed to greed, anger, pride etc and Maharaj Yudhisthir having observed all these serious inauspicities addressed his younger brothers and said.
SB 1.14.6 (1965): Maharaja Yudhistir said to his younger brother Bhimasena as follows: "Bhimsena ! I sent Arjuna to Dwarka for meeting the friends as well as to know from the Personality of Godhead Krishna about His programme of work."

SB 1.14.8 (1965): Is He going to quit off His earthly pastimes as it was indicated by Devarshi Narada? Is that time already arrived?
SB 1.14.9 (1965): From Him only all our opulence in the matter of our kingdom, good wives, existence of life, continuation of progeny, control over the subjects, victory over the competitors and accomodation in higher planets have become possible and they are all due to His causeless mercy upon us.
SB 1.14.10 (1965): Just see oh the strongest man like a tiger, how much miseries of life due to celestial influence, earthly reaction and bodily pains all awfully dangerous are indicating dangers in the near future by deluding our intelligence.
SB 1.14.11 (1965): My left part of the body namely the thighs, eyes and the arms all are quivering again and again: there is palpitation of the heart also due to fearfulness and as such they indicate undesirable happenings.
SB 1.14.12 (1965): Just see Oh Bhima how the she-jackel crying towards the rising sun vomiting fire in the mouth and how the dog barks towards me fearlessly.
SB 1.14.13 (1965): Oh Bhimsena the tiger among the man now the useful animals are passing me keeping left while the lower animals are circumambulating me. And my horses appear to be weeping by seeing me.
SB 1.14.14 (1965): Just see this pigeon is like the messenger of Death and the owls and the rival crows by their shrieking screams tremble my heart and it appears that they want to make a void in the whole universe.
SB 1.14.15 (1965): Just see how there are smoky encirclements over the sky and it appears as if the earth is throbbing along with the mountains. Just hear how there is a thundering sound without any clouds and bolts from the blue.
SB 1.14.16 (1965): The wind is blowing sharply blasting the dust all over in darkness and the cloud is raining blood like disasters everywhere.

SB 1.14.18 (1965): Rivers, tributaries, ponds, reservoirs of water and the mind as well all are perturbed. Butter does not any more ignite fire. What is this extraordinary time and what it is going to happen?
SB 1.14.19 (1965): The calves do not suck the milk bag of the cow nor the cow does allow milking. They are standing crying with tears on the face and the bulls do not take pleasure in the pasturing ground.
SB 1.14.20 (1965): The deities in the temples are like crying in the temples, lamenting with perspiration, and seemingly moving from the place. All the cities, villages, towns, gardens, mines and hermitages are now devoid of all beauty and bereft of all happiness. Do not know what sort of calamities are awaiting us in these manifestations.
SB 1.14.21 (1965): I think that all these earthly disturbances preclude some greater loss in the matter of the good fortune of the world. The world was fortunate to have been imprinted with the auspicious marks of the Lotus Feet of the Lord and it indicates that there are no more such opportunities.

SB 1.14.26 (1965): Is my respectful grand-father Surasena in a happy mood? And my maternal uncle Vasudeva along with his younger brothers are all doing well?
SB 1.14.27 (1965): His seven wives headed by Devaki personally all are sisters themselves. Are they all in happiness along with their sons and daughter-in-laws?
SB 1.14.28-29 (1965): Whether Ugrasena whose mischievous son was Kansa is still living along with his younger brother Devak. Whether Hridik along with sons Kritavarma, Akrur, Jayanta, Gada, Saran and Satrajit are all happy? How is Valarama the Personality of Godhead and the Protector of the devotees?

And the members of the Yadu dynasty are enjoying life like the residents of the spiritual sky being protected by the arms of the Lord.
SB 1.14.37 (1965): Queens headed by Satyabhama at Dwarka, simply by administering comforts at the Lotus feet of the Lord which is the most important of all services, induced the Lord to conquer over the demigods and thus the queens enjoyed things which are only deserving prerogatives of the better halves of the controller of the thunderbolt.
SB 1.14.38 (1965): The great heroes of the Yadu dynasty being protected by the arms of Lord Sri Krishna always remain fearless in every respect. And as such they are traversing with their feet on the assembly house of the name Sudharma which is just deserving for the best demigods and was forcibly taken away from them (demigods).
SB 1.14.39 (1965): My brother Arjuna please tell me if you are alright by your health? You appear to me lost of bodily lusture. Whether it is due to your disrespect or negligence by others due to your long stay at Dwarka?
