The analogy of Lord Kalki to a comet carries profound symbolism, reflecting both His divine mission and supreme potency. A comet, by its very nature, is swift, radiant, and awe-inspiring—often perceived as an omen of great transformation. Similarly, Lord Kalki, the final incarnation of the Supreme Lord in this age of Kali, will appear with tremendous speed and power to eradicate adharma (unrighteousness) and restore cosmic order (dharma).
The term dhumaketu further signifies an unstoppable force, blazing with divine fury against corruption and impiety. Just as a comet leaves an indelible impression upon the sky, Lord Kalki’s advent will mark an irrevocable change, heralding the dawn of a new Satya-yuga.

Nice, may I ask what is the source of your reply?

The term used "dhumaketu" by Jayadeva Gosvami refers to comet. And why did he mentions this? It is a metaphorical language. The comet here refers to Lord Kalki with this type of figure of speech i.e. metaphor. As we cannot stop the force of comet. similarly, we cannot stop or control the force of Lord Kalki too.
