His descent will mark the end of Kali yuga. When faith is lost, when social structures collapse, when virtue is forgotten, he will be born to Sumati and Vishnuyasha. Parashuram will be his guru. He will worship Shiva.

He will marry Padma and be the father of Jaya and Vijaya. He will ride a flying horse called Devadatta. He will have a parrot and a flaming sword. He will destroy the demons Kok and Vikok and overpower their master, Kali, source of all corruption, and renovate the world, heralding Satya yuga, the era of purity and joy.
