निष्कामः शुद्धिमाप्नोति शुद्ध्या ज्ञानं न संशयः । कृतादौ हि तपःश्लोघ्यं द्र व्यधर्मः कलौ युगे ५४ ।

sanskrit

A person freed from desire gains purity and by purity he acquires knowledge. There is no doubt about it. In the ages of Kṛtā, Tretā and Dvāpara penance was recommended for attaining Dharma; but in the age of Kali it is the sacrificial offering that secures Dharma for us.
