This shlokam is right. This chapter from 12 Skandam talks about Kali and it's effects. Every shlokam will reflect the effects of Kali. Their foretelling is picture perfect. At the end of this chapter solution for Kali Yugam is also provided. 1/5
In Kruta Yugam people attained Vishnu through Dhyanam.
In Treta Yugam people attained Vishnu through Yangyam / Yagam
In Dwapara Yugam people attained Vishnu through Pooja 2/5
In Kali Yugam the way to attain Vishnu is to sing (Namasankirtan) the name of Hari.
The solution for each Yugam varied. In the first Yugam people mind weren't contaminated, and hence they were able to control the mind, and hence that solution.
3/5
Likewise when the Yugams progressed, people mind became more contaminated. In Kali Yugam it's at the most contaminated stage, and hence the solution for previous Yugams won't be effective.
When things are complicated, the solution shouldn't be complicated. Hence for Kali 4/5
they gave us the most easiest solution. This solution will serve large mass as for Namasankirtan there are no boundaries. Anyone can chant anywhere, anytime. The mercy these rishis have on us unparalleled. We are indebted forever for what they have given us. 5/5

Takes him inside the palace. Since Kuchela is coming from a long distance, Krishna asks him to complete his daily routine (brushing, bathing, etc). Sri Krishna provides him new clothes to wear, and they both sat for having lunch. The meal was sumptuous. 3/9
