In Satya-yuga you had complete dharma of four portions with four elements: austerity, cleanliness, mercy and truth. Three portions are broken by three portions of irreligion: pride, association with women, intoxication and other sins.

Purport

I know all your fortune and misfortune which you have not told me. Please hear. Two verses describe this. Three portions are broken by three parts of adharma: pride (smaya), association with women (sanga) and intoxication (madaih). These represent other actions such as violence as well. This means truth and the other qualities present in Satya-yuga cannot be present.
