'' From Vishnu's chest rose a bull. ''Behold the bull of dharma. Love, truth, discipline and compassion are its four limbs. So long as it stands upright, the world will survive,'' said the lord. Brahma revealed, ''Every time this bull of dharma loses a leg, an age will come to an end. The first age to come to an end will be the age of perfection, Krita-yuga. After this will come Treta and Dvapara yugas, periods of increasing corruption. Finally, when the bull stands on only foot will be the age of Kali, the age of materialism and spiritual blindness, at the end of which the floods of doom will engulf the earth.'' ''
