Five thousand years ago it was foretold that marriage means agreement. It will be in Kali-yuga. Svīkāram eva codvāhe. This is called śāstra. Bhūt bhaviṣyat vartamāna, everything. That is śāstra, and that is perfect knowledge. And dam-patye ratir eva hi (SB 12.2.3). Rati means sex satisfaction. So husband and wife means sex satisfaction. It will be the standard of man and woman's relationship. Dam-patye ratim eva hi. Vipratve sūtram eva hi (SB 12.2.3): to become a brāhmaṇa means a thread, a two-cent worth, one thread. That's all. This is going on. These are all foretold.

Parīkṣit Mahārāja puts a very intelligent question, that "What is the use of this kind of prāyaścitta, atonement? It has no use." So as the student is intelligent, the spiritual master is also gradually giving him more intelligence. First of all, for ordinary man the atonement, punishment, he proposed. But when the student, intelligent student, Mahārāja Parīkṣit, says, "It is useless," then next proposal is,

Avidyā. If somebody is kept into darkness, then there is no use of this punishment, or prāyaścitta. So he proposes that the man in darkness should be educated. Vimarśanam. Vimarśanam means cultivation of knowledge, culture. So where is that culture? There is no culture. We propose that the beginning of culture is "No illicit sex." This is the beginning. Who is accepting that? "Illicit sex? Why illicit sex? Sex is sex." No, that is the beginning of culture, because in the dog society there is no marriage, and why in the human society there is marriage? They could avoid it. And nowadays they are being avoided. In the Kali-yuga there will be no more marriage. That is stated in the Bhāgavata. It is stated. Five thousand years ago it was foretold that during Kali-yuga, svīkāra eva codvāhe ([[Vanisource:SB 12.2.5|SB 12.2.5]]). Just see. This is called śāstra. Five thousand years ago it was foretold that marriage means agreement. It will be in Kali-yuga. Svīkāram eva codvāhe. This is called śāstra. Bhūt bhaviṣyat vartamāna, everything. That is śāstra, and that is perfect knowledge. And dam-patye ratir eva hi ([[Vanisource:SB 12.2.3|SB 12.2.3]]). Rati means sex satisfaction. So husband and wife means sex satisfaction. It will be the standard of man and woman's relationship. Dam-patye ratim eva hi. Vipratve sūtram eva hi ([[Vanisource:SB 12.2.3|SB 12.2.3]]): to become a brāhmaṇa means a thread, a two-cent worth, one thread. That's all. This is going on. These are all foretold. So that is being explained.
