O Vidura, in the Satya millennium mankind properly and completely maintained the principles of religion, but in other millenniums religion gradually decreased by one part as irreligion was proportionately admitted.

In the Satya millennium, complete execution of religious principles prevailed. Gradually, the principles of religion decreased by one part in each of the subsequent millenniums. In other words, at present there is one part religion and three parts irreligion. Therefore people in this age are not very happy.

Translation
In Satya-yuga complete dharma gives shelter to mankind. In each of the succeeding yugas, dharma decreases by a quarter because of the increase of adharma by a quarter. In Satya-yuga, complete (catuḥpāt) dharma is aimed at mankind. Because adharma gradually increased by a fourth in the following yugas, dharma gradually decreased by a fourth.
