Famine and plague and disease are rife, and unrighteousness triumphs.

Awake, Oh Goddess Durga! I see the lightning flashing from the point of thy bow, the world quaking at thy frowns, and creation trembling under thy tread.

Let a river of blood flow, overwhelming the hearts of the demons.
The _Kalyani_ chides the Hindus for breaking their _Swadeshi_ vows to Durga:-- You have made all sorts of vows to stick to Swadeshi, but you are still using _bilati_ [foreign] salt, sugar, and cloths which are polluted with the blood and fat of animals.
You swear by the Mother, and then you go and disobey her and defile her temples.

Do you know that it is owing to your sins that Mother Durga has not come to accept your worship in Bengal this year?
In fact, she is heaving deep sighs of sorrow--sighs which will bring a cataclysmic storm upon you.

The _Bedari_ of Lahore, for instance, reproduces from the Puranas the story of the tyrant Rajah Harnakath, who brought death on himself at the hands of Vishnu for attempting to kill his son Prahlad, whose offence was that he believed in God and championed the cause of justice, in order to liken British statesmen and Anglo-Indian officials to the wicked Rajah and the Indians to Prahlad.
As most British statesmen and their representatives abroad are the enemies of liberty and justice and support slavery and oppression, the fall of Great Britain is near at hand, and India will then pass into the possession of her own sons.
The _Prem_ of Firozpur is inclined even to give Mr.Keir Hardie a niche in the Hindu Pantheon.
