Kalyug started 5000 years ago just after Dwapar Yug when Lord Krishan left for his eternal abode and handed over kingdom to Parikshat. King Parikshit was the grandson of Arjun & son of Abhimanyu.
One day King got a drishti / vision of Kalyug and requested to allow a stay in his kingdom in some form or the other. At last King Parikshat agreed for kalyuga to enter n reside in gold in his kingdome.
While the discussion continued, kalyug frightened King with the kind of fall in morals & conduct hat will enetr not only individual life but in dharma, in places of worhsips also.
Then kaliyuga also gave an advantage of his period (yug) visa vis earlier 3 periods (yugas).
10,000 years of jap tap in Sat Yug
= 1,000 years of jap tap in Treta Yug
= 100 of jap tap in Dwapar Yug
= 2 & 1/2 hours a day of naam sadhna in Kal Yug
So then some time later, while King Parikshat wore a gold crown, King was on his way in a forest and came across a sage with whom he inquired on some subject. Getting no response, king got in a rage and (while his was wearing a Gold Crown) kalyug faded away Kings great Intellect & wisdom. King thought of sage not following his instruction intentionally and he put a snake around the neck of sage.
Where as the sage was in state of dasam dawar samadhi and any one with even lower intellect (in that period) could have guessed.
in response to this disrespect to their sage, deciepels gave a curse to king that he shall die and gave a limited time for it to occur. After knowing all sage called king and informed him on curse by his deciepels . after which king planned his death as coming was imminent.
So a great King Parikshat, a man of so great intellect values & morals that Lord Krishna him self chose him to be the King also got deluded by Kalyug.
