Srimad Bhagavatam 1.16.10

sūta uvāca

yadā parīkṣit kuru-jāṅgale ’vasat
 kaliṁ praviṣṭaṁ nija-cakravartite
niśamya vārtām anatipriyāṁ tataḥ
 śarāsanaṁ saṁyuga-śauṇḍir ādade

Sūta Gosvāmī said: While Mahārāja Parīkṣit was residing in the capital of the Kuru empire, the symptoms of the Age of Kali began to infiltrate within the jurisdiction of his state. When he learned about this, he did not think the matter very palatable. This did, however, give him a chance to fight. He took up his bow and arrows and prepared himself for military activities.
