06 · EDITION AND WITNESS COMPARISON
How the evidence for Bhavishya Malika and Kali-Yuga Deadlines changes
The date of a document and the date of an interpretation are recorded separately.| Witness or edition | Date | Editorial status | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Internet Archive · Bhavishya Malika search | Traditional texts · modern videos | Baseline source | Bhavishya Malika is a family of works and commentaries rather than one fixed volume; viral translations often omit edition, chapter and original line. |
| Scholarly or institutional interpretation | Later review | Context layer | Explains language, history and uncertainty without becoming the original text. |
| Viral quotation or modern event match | Recent circulation | Derivative layer | Most vulnerable to translation drift, omitted failures and hindsight; compare with Internet Archive · Bhavishya Malika search. |

Original-first test
The claim is checked against Internet Archive · Bhavishya Malika search, not against a later summary.
Outcome test

08 · WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED
Comparison with events
Broad disaster language can fit many periods, the fixed 2025 end did not occur and calendar conversions differ across interpreters.09 · DISPUTES AND COUNTERARGUMENTS
Where interpretation changes
The main dispute concerns the distance between Traditional texts · modern videos and Odia text family · translation · shortened yuga chronology · online date claim. Translation, selective quotation, changed definitions and hindsight can make a broad record appear more exact than it was. Competing readings are therefore preserved rather than silently merged.10 · EVIDENCE SCORE & PROVISIONAL CONCLUSION
Tradition exists · editions and translations disputed
Texts associated with Odisha's Panchasakha saints are promoted online as predicting war, disaster and the imminent end of Kali Yuga. SALGIL's provisional score reflects source traceability and testability, not religious worth or cultural importance.11 · SOURCES AND REVIEW
