A dog feeding on sweetmeats and being worshipped by man was seen in the tenth dream. Its import was that low class persons would parade as worshipfu! man and would be actually worshipped by the people!
A bellowing young bull was seen next. This meant that people would generally enter the holy order in their youth in the fifth kala, instead of in old age.
In the twelfth dream Bharata saw the Moon surrounded by nebulous matter. This meant that the saints would be unable to acquire even clairvoyance and telepathy in the panchama kāla !
Two bullocks going together were seen next implying that the saints in the panchama kāla would be unable to attain to the purity of conduct necessary to unable them to roam about singly!
The Sun covered over by clouds was seen next. It meant that no one would be able to attain to Omniscience in the panchama kāla.
A dried-up tree that cast no shade was the subject of the next dream. Its significance was that in the panchama Kala the generality of men and women would abandon religion, and become irreligious !
