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.
अपृथग्धर्मिणो मा ऋक्सामानि यजूंषि च। काम्या इष्टीः पृथग् दृष्ट्वा तपोभिस्तप एव च।॥
