Dana (giving of gifts to deserving persons), 2. Sila (chastity), 3. Tapa (Austerity) and 4 Bhava (Good Intentions) will go on decreasing. There will be quarrel among Sadhus (Monks), and among Sâdhvis (Nuns) on the slightest pretext. There will be roguery among religious-minded people, and there will be unsteadiness with them.
