SB 12.01.06-08
nandivardhana ājeyo
mahānandiḥ sutas tataḥ
śiśunāgā daśaivaite
saṣṭy-uttara-śata-trayam
samā bhokṣyanti pṛthivīṁ
kuru-śreṣṭha kalau nṛpāḥ
mahānandi-suto rājan
śūdrā-garbhodbhavo balī
mahāpadma-patiḥ kaścin
nandaḥ kṣatra-vināśa-kṛt
tato nṛpā bhaviṣyanti
śūdra-prāyās tv adhārmikāḥ
Translation:
Ajaya will father a second Nandivardhana, whose son will be Mahānandi. O best of the Kurus, these ten kings of the Śiśunāga dynasty will rule the earth for a total of 360 years during the Age of Kali. My dear Parīkṣit, King Mahānandi will father a very powerful son in the womb of a śūdra woman. He will be known as Nanda and will be the master of millions of soldiers and fabulous wealth. He will wreak havoc among the kṣatriyas, and from that time onward virtually all kings will be irreligious śūdras.
Purport:
Here is a description of how authentic political authority degenerated and disintegrated throughout the world. There is a Supreme Godhead, and there are saintly, powerful men who have taken the role of government leaders and represented that Godhead on earth. With the advent of the Age of Kali, however, this transcendental system of government collapsed, and unauthorized, uncivilized men gradually took the reins of power.
