Adhyātma-krama: Indriya–Manas–Buddhi–Ātman Hierarchy and Citta-Prasāda (आध्यात्मक्रमः)
त्रेतादौ केवला वेदा यज्ञा वर्णाश्रमास्तथा । संरोधादायुषस्त्वेते व्यस्यन्ते द्वापरे युगे
tretādau kevalā vedā yajñā varṇāśramās tathā | saṃrodhād āyuṣas tv ete vyasyante dvāpare yuge ||
毗耶娑说：“在特雷塔纪之初，唯有吠陀，且为未分之整体；祭祀仪轨与种姓—住期（varṇa-āśrama）之制亦复如是。然当人寿受限、渐趋短促之时，这些便在二婆罗纪被编排并分置。”

Educational Q&A
As human capacities—especially lifespan—diminish across the ages, the preservation and practice of dharma adapts: what was once held as a single, integral Vedic and ritual order becomes systematized and divided in the Dvāpara-yuga to remain accessible and workable.
Vyāsa is explaining a yuga-based account of religious and social organization: in early ages the Vedas, sacrifices, and the varṇa–āśrama framework are presented as ‘whole’ or unified, but later—specifically in Dvāpara—these are arranged into divisions in response to the shortening of human life.
