Sanskrit Text

अपृथग्धर्मिणो मर्त्या ऋक्सामानि यजूंषि काम्यां पुष्टिं पृथग्दृष्ट्वा तपोभिस्तप एव

English Translation

In the Krita age, worshipping only one Brahma, men regarded the Richs, the Samans, the Yajushas, and the rites and sacrifices that are performed from motives of advantage, as all different from the object of their worship, and practised only Yoga by means of penances.
