Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Foolish King Viśvasphūrji will make the citizens devoid of the Vedas and will use his power to completely destroy the powerful kṣatriya order. From his capital of Padmavatī he will rule that part of the earth extending from the source of the Gaṅgā to Prayāga. He will make the citizens reject the Vedas and destroy the remaining pious kṣatriyas.
