Sūta said:: Owing to the power of the inevitable future, the Kṛta Yuga set in. When the holy Kṛta Yuga began to function, the subjects pertaining to the Kṛta Yuga were born of those who survived from the Kali Yuga. Those Siddhas who remained then, began to move about invisibly. They established themselves there along with the seven sages. The Brāhmaṇas, the Kṣatriyas, the Vaiśyas and the Śūdras were those, who were remembered as seeds. (They were intended to be the nucleus for the succeeding generation). At that time they became identical with those who were born in (the closing stages of) Kali. They were devoid of any difference. The seven sages recounted Dharma to them as well as to others.
