Yugas and classes of people: lineage of sages - Verse 66

Sūta said: As the sages perform the severe and extremely difficult penance, the Mantras of different Vedas—Atharva, Ṛk, Yajus and Sāman appear before them severally in the same manner as in the previous Manvantaras. They appear in five ways viz.—owing to non-contenḍedness, owing to fear, owing to misery (pain), owing to happiness and owing to grief.
