"Kalauḥ pañcasahasre ca gate varṣe ca mokṣaṇam।
Yuṣmākaṁ saritāṁ bhūyo madgṛhe cāgamiṣyatha॥"- Brahma Vaivartha Purana (Page 202, Verse 89, Prakriti Khand, Chapter 6)
Mother Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Ganga had to descend on earth due to a mutual curse. Regarding their salvation, the Lord tells them that after five thousand years of Kaliyuga, they will attain salvation, and after being freed from the form of a river, they will return to me in Vaikuntha.
"Kaleḥ pañcasahasrāṇi varṣāṇi tiṣṭha bhūtale।
Pāpāni pāpino yāni tubhyaṁ dāsyanti snānata॥
Manmantropāsak sparśād bhasmībhūtāni tatkṣaṇāt।
Bhaviṣyanti darśanāc ca snānād eva hi Jāhnavi॥"- Verse 50, Krishna Janma Khand, Chapter 129
Shri Krishna said, "O Ganga, you will remain on earth for five thousand years in Kaliyuga." The devotees' sins will be destroyed by bathing in your water, chanting mantras, and seeing you.
"Madbhaktāśūnya pṛthvī kaligrasta bhaviṣyati।
Etasminnantare tatra kṛṣṇādehavinirgataḥ॥"Verse 60, Krishna Janma Khand, Chapter 129
The effects of Kali will affect the earth, which is devoid of my devotees. Shri Krishna said this before leaving the world.
According to the above verses, the end of Kaliyuga is proven.
