1.9.27

na yajñāḥ saṃpravartante na tapasyanti tāpasāḥ
na ca dānādidharmeṣu manaś cakre tadā janaḥ //

Having thus spoken, the Brahman went his way; and the king of the gods, remounting his elephant, returned to his capital Amarávati. Thenceforward, Maitreya, the three worlds and Śakra lost their vigour, and all vegetable products, plants, and herbs were withered and died; sacrifices were no longer offered; devout exercises no longer practised; men were no more addicted to charity, or any moral or religious obligation;
