ABSTRACT
This period will tenninate with a jala-pralaya, or flood, which will deluge the whole earth, except the mountain of silver, called Vidi-parta. This flood will be caused by continuous rain for forty-seven days, which will result in a complete upsetting of the elements. A few people living near the silver mountain will take refuge in the caves which are hidden in its sides, and they will be saved amidst the universal destruction. After the catastrophe the elect will come forth from the mountain and wi1l repeople the earth. Then the six periods will begin over again, and follow each other as they did before.
