Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.3.9
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
As King Ṛṣabha advised His sons, tapasya, or voluntary acceptance of penance for realization of the Transcendence, is the only duty of the human being; it was so done by the Lord Himself in an exemplary manner to teach us. The Lord is very kind to the forgetful souls. He therefore comes Himself and leaves behind necessary instructions and also sends His good sons as representatives to call all the conditioned souls back to Godhead. Recently, within the memory of everyone, Lord Caitanya also appeared for the same purpose: to show special favor to fallen souls of this age of iron industry. The incarnation of Nārāyaṇa is worshiped still at Badarī-nārāyaṇa, on the range of the Himālayas.
Turye means fourth. Dharma-kalā, part of Dharma, refers to the wife of Dharma, since the śṛuti says ardho vā eṣa ātmano yat patnī: the wife is half of oneself. Appearing in her (sarge) he became the two sages. They are considered one avatāra.

- Which sense, right now, is most pulling at me and away from devotion?
- What modest discipline could free that energy for love rather than habit?
