Devanagari script
द्वापरे तु प्रवर्तन्ते रागो लोभो मदस् तथा वेदो व्यासैश्चतुर्धा तु व्यस्यते द्वापरादिषु
Transliteration
dvāpare tu pravartante rāgo lobho madas tathā vedo vyāsaiścaturdhā tu vyasyate dvāparādiṣu
Translation
But in the Dvāpara age, passion, greed, and pride arise; and in the Dvāpara and the later ages the single Veda is divided into four by the Vyāsas—so that beings bound as paśu may still approach dharma and, through right worship, move toward the Lord (Pati).
