Sanskrit Text

अधर्मव्रतसंयोगं यथाधर्मं युगे युगे विक्रियन्ते स्वधर्मस्था वेदवादा यथायुगम्

English Translation

As regards the other cycles, it is seen that without at once giving up the duties and acts that are consistent with righteousness, men, observing the practices of their respective orders, and conversant with the ordinances of the Vedas, are led, by the authority of the scriptures, and from motives of advantage and interest to perform sacrifices and vows and sojourns to sacred waters and places.
