King Parikshit one day near river Saraswati saw a bull who was wobbling on only one leg (all the other three legs were severed) & trembling badly. There was also a cow, who looked like having lost her calf & therefore immersed in sorrow & There was a dark, mean & beastly looking man (dressed, like a king), who was using his mace(a club, called Gada, used those days), to beat the helpless animals. King Parikshit was deeply moved by the pitiable condition of the animals. Because he was very learned, Parikshit Maharaj knew that this was not an ordinary situation & there was more than what met the eyes. He asked all of them to identify themselves.
Parikshit maharaj came to know that the bull represented Dharma.
In Satya Yuga, the four legs were established by the practice of austerity, cleanliness, mercy and truthfulness.
In each of the next Yugas, Treta Yuga & Dwapar Yuga, one by one a leg got severed. Three of the legs had been broken due to rampant irreligion in the form of pride, prostitution, and intoxication. Right now, standing upon the last leg of truthfulness Dharma somehow managed to still hobble along. Yet, since Kali is known to be quarrel personified and flourishes by deceit, he would also destroy the last remaining leg, unless the King takes up the charge of protecting.
The cow represented Mother Earth. After Lord Krishna left this mortal world for his heavenly abode in Vaikunth, Kali has spread his dark influence everywhere & that has aggrieved the Mother Earth. The beastly man, was Kali. He was the embodiment of all evil incarnates.
