Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
In the Krita age the chief (virtue) is declared to be (the performance of) austerities, in the Treta (divine) knowledge, in the Dvapara (the performance of) sacrifices, in the Kali liberality alone.
Translated by Georg Bühler
