Synonyms

aṣṭāviṁśa-twenty-eighth; catuḥ-yuge-in the cycle of four ages; dvāparera-of the Dvāpara-yuga; śeṣe-at the end; vrajera sahite-along with Vraja; haya-is; kṛṣṇera-of Lord Kṛṣṇa; prakāśe-manifestation.

Translation

At the end of the Dvāpara-yuga of the twenty-eighth divya-yuga, Lord Kṛṣṇa appears on earth with the full paraphernalia of His eternal Vraja-dhāma.

Purport

From the beginning of Brahmā's day of 4,320,000,000 years, six Manus appear and disappear before Lord Kṛṣṇa appears. Thus 1,975,320,000 years of the day of Brahmā elapse before the appearance of Lord Kṛṣṇa. This is an astronomical calculation according to solar years.
