The second chapter, then, in order, will be Vishnu, Nandimitra, Aparajita, Govardhana, and Bhadrabahu, wise Acharyas. These Acharyas will be proficient in the fourteen Mahavidya-sthana and will illuminate the Purana completely for a hundred autumns.
Then, in order, will be Visakha, Prosthila, Kshatriya, Jaya, Nagasena, Siddhartha, Prati-sena, Vijaya, Buddhiman, Ganadva, and Dharma-sena. These eleven Acharyas will be the holders of the eleven Angas and the ten Purvarupa. Their time will be 183 years. Until then, this Purana will be fully illuminated.
After them, in order, will be Nakshatra, Jayapala, Pandu, Dhruvasena, and Kansa-acharya. These five great ascetics will be the holders of the eleven Angas. Their time is considered to be 220 years. At that time, this Purana will be illuminated in three-fourths of its form. Then, due to the lack of worthy recipients, this Purana, spoken by the Lord, will surely diminish.
After them, will be Subhadra, Yasho-bhadra, Bhadra-bahu, and Loha-acharya. These four Acharyas will be the holders of great fame and will be proficient in the first Anga (Achara-anga), like the ocean. Their time will be eighteen years. At that time, only one-fourth of this Purana will remain in circulation.
After that, that is, 683 years after the liberation of Vardhamana Swami, this Purana will gradually diminish. At that time, the intellect of people will also diminish, so only rare Acharyas will be able to hold it in a reduced form.
Thus, this Purana will be illuminated by the lineage of Gurus, who are endowed with knowledge and wisdom, in whatever measure and whenever it is illuminated. To remember this, great, wise, and revered poets like Jinasena will be born.
This Purana is the first one, spoken by Swayambhuva. They say that other Puranas are merely verbal embellishments.
