Srimad Bhagavatam 12.03.20 - Glories of Bhadra Poornima (download mp3)
by Gaura Vilas Prabhu at ISKCON Chowpatty

SB 12.3.20
tretāyāṁ dharma-pādānāṁ
turyāṁśo hīyate śanaiḥ
adharma-pādair anṛta-
hiṁṣāsantoṣa-vigrahaiḥ

Translation:
In Tretā-yuga each leg of religion is gradually reduced by one quarter by the influence of the four pillars of irreligion — lying, violence, dissatisfaction and quarrel.

Purport:
By falsity truth is diminished, by violence mercy is diminished, by dissatisfaction austerity is diminished, and by quarrel charity and cleanliness are diminished.
