The Kshatriyas also adopt the practices of the Brahmanas. In the Kali Yuga the Brahmanas will abstain from sacrifices and the study of the Vedas. They will give up their staff and deer skin and they will eat everything. O child, the Brahmanas will give up prayer and the Shudras will betake themselves to these.
क्षत्रधर्मेण वाप्यत्र वर्तयन्ति गते युगे। निवृत्तयज्ञस्वाध्याया दण्डाजिनविवर्जिताः॥ ब्राह्मणाः सर्वभक्षाश्च भविष्यन्ति कलौ युगे। अजपा ब्राह्मणास्तात शूद्रा जपपरायणाः॥
