... some stable worldwide harmony, that is man's Satya Yuga. When harmony falters, is maintained with difficulty, not in the nature of men, but by an accepted force or political instrument, that is his Treta. When the faltering becomes stumbling and the harmony has to be maintained at every step by a careful & laborious regulation, that is his Dwapara. When there is disintegration, & all descends in collapse... great Avatar of all arrives to establish the first Satya Yuga of the Kali? For in the Kali too, say the secret & ancient traditions of the Yogins, there is a perpetual minor repetition of Satya-Treta-Dwapara-Kali sub-cycles, the subSatya a temporary & imperfect harmony which in the subTreta & subDwapara breaks down and disappears in the subKali. The process then begins over Page 56 again ...

... ruled by a Manu—man comes from Manu. So there are fourteen Manus in one day of Brahma. The lifespan of each Manu is called a Manwantara. In each Manwantara there are seventy-one chaturyugas—Krita, Treta, Dwapara and Kali. One human Page 377 year is one day-night for the gods. Kritayoa lasts for 4,800 god-years, Tretayoga for 3,600 god-years, Dwapara lasts for 2,400 god-years, and... In the event, given the almost infinite sweep of time, it should not surprise us that at the end of Satya yuga, man's memory Page 378 of his origin had dimmed. That is why in the Treta people needed a prop for their memory. Therefore was written down the law, the Veda. It was used simply as a guide, for there remained great elasticity and freedom. The functions were interchangeable ...
... terminations with or without modification of the root and more complex words by the principle of composition.

The Vishnu Purana tells us that Vishnu in the Satya Yuga incarnates as Yajna, in the Treta as the conqueror and king, in the Dwapara as Vyasa, the compiler, codifier and lawgiver. It is not meant that He incarnates as sacrifice. The Satya Yuga is the age of human perfection when a harmonious... dharma and yoga. The chatuspad dharma is the perfect harmony of the four dharmas, Brahmanyam, Kshatram, Vaishyam and Shaudram; for this reason separate castes do not exist in the Satya Yuga. In the Treta the Brahmanyam begins to fail, but remains as a subordinate force to help the Kshatram which then governs humanity. Mankind is maintained no longer by viryam or tapas easily sustained by inherent B ...
... consists of four cycles, each again comprising four 'yugas' or ages. Between two yugas there is a twilight period. A cycle starts with Truth in its fullness, the Satya Yuga or the Age of Gold. The Treta comes next, when the degradation has begun and the age has lost one third of the Truth. It is followed by Dwapara, when Truth and Falsehood hold equal sway to begin with, but Truth continues to lose... to the diminishing Truth. 2 As a result, man's life-span diminishes also. In addition, they say that with the declining Truth man's stature too declines. Man's height, which is fourteen cubits in Treta, is reduced to seven cubits in Dwapara, and goes down to four and a half cubits in Kali.

... user of material means, the democrat, the leveller. The Satya is full of Srikrishna; it is the golden Age when men are full of might and wisdom. The Treta is full of Balarama; the Chakravarti Raja is the incarnation of the Treta; it is full of great wars and mighty sacrifices. The Dwapara is full of Pradyumna; He prepares in the Dwapara the love which supports men through the Kali. Aniruddha ...

The harmony exists in its nature, by the force of a settled purity; but afterwards it begins to break down and man upholds it, in the Treta, by force of will, individual and collective; it breaks down further and he attempts to uphold it in the Dwapara by intellectual regulation and common consent and rule; then in the Kali it finally collapses ...
... 295 According to Indian tradition, each cycle has four periods: Satya-yuga , the age of truth (or golden age), followed by the age with "three-fourths of the truth," Treta-yuga , then "half of the truth," Dwapara-yuga , and finally the age when all the truth has disappeared, Kali-yuga , and when the Password has been lost. The Kali-yuga is followed by a new Satya-yuga ...

About 1965 Mother, According to the old tradition there is a cycle of four ages or Yugas: Satya, Treta, Dwapara and Kali. In "The Yoga and Its Objects" Sri Aurobindo seems to confirm it.

I incarnated to teach the process of sacrifice in Treta-yuga. I incarnated in Dvapara-yuga to teach the process of deity worship. Even the Vedas do not know all my incarnations. I have now come to initiate the process of chanting the holy names ...
... ages of man's cycle in which he attempts to maintain some imperfect form of his true law. There are at least two such intermediate ages recognised by the Indian sociologists. They are called the Treta and the Dwapara. In the former, the social order is maintained by will power and force of character, and in the latter, by law, arrangement and fixed convention. In both these ages, man is developed ...
