Narration of the four Yugas: castes and stages of life - Verse 24

Sūta said:: There are similar alternatives in the Bhāṣyas (commentaries) and Vidyās (learning) of the Prakriyā Sūtras and Kalpa Sūtras (scriptural texts). There are different Smṛtiśāstras (Law Codes etc.) and there are separate Prasthānas (Schools and Systems). These occur in the Dvāpara Yuga because of the difference of opinion among men.
