Translation
After the one thousand celestial years of Kali-yuga, the Satya-yuga will manifest again. At that time the minds of all men will become self-effulgent.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
After the one thousand celestial years of Kali-yuga, Satya-yuga will manifest again at the concluding sandhyā of Kali-yuga. At that time the minds of all men will become self-effulgent.
This verse describes the entrance time of Satya-yuga. Caturthe means “in Kali-yuga.” Here it actually means that Satya-yuga will begin during the sandhyāṁśa of Kali-yuga [Note: The total number of devatā years for Kali-yuga is 1200 years. The first sandhyā is 120 devatās years and the sandhyāṁśa is 120 years. The middle portion is 960 devatā years (approximately 1000). ].
