During these times the Brahmins are knowledgeable of two, sometimes three Vedas, but rarely have studied all the four Vedas thoroughly.

Dvapara Yuga is the third out of four yugas, or ages, in the religion of Hinduism. This yuga comes after Treta Yuga and is followed by Kali Yuga.This yuga ends with the death of Krishna.
There are only two pillars left of religion in the Dvapara Yuga. Bhagwan Vishnu assumes the color yellow and the Vedas are categorized into four parts that is Rig, Sama, Yajur and Atharva. During these times the Brahmins are knowledgeable of two, sometimes three Vedas, but rarely have studied all the four Vedas thoroughly. Accordingly, because of this categorization, different actions and activities come into existence.
All people in the Dvapara Yuga are zealous, valiant, courageous and competitive by nature and are engaged only in penance and charity. They are kingly and pleasure-seeking. In this era, the divine intellect ceases to exist, and it is therefore seldom that anyone is wholly truthful. As a result of this life of deceit, people are plagued by ailments, diseases and various types of desires. After suffering from these ailments, people realize their misdeeds and perform penance. Some also organize Yagya for material benefits as well as for divinity.
The Role of the Brahmin
In this Yuga, the Brahmins are involved in Yagya, self-study, donation and teaching activities. They attain celestial bliss by engaging in penance, religion, control of senses and restraint.
The Role of the Kshatriya
The duties of Kshatriyas are the protection of their subjects. In this era, they are humble and performe their duties by controlling their senses. The Kshatriyas honestly execute all policies of law and order without being angry or cruel. They are devoid of greed and consequently attain bliss.
The king avails the advice of the learned scholars and accordingly maintains law and order in his empire. The king who is addicted to vices will definitely end up defeated. One or two or all from SÄma, DÄna, Danda, Bheda and Upeksha is/are brought into use and help attain the desired. Kings are diligent in maintaining public decorum and order.
A few of the kings, however, surreptitiously plan a conspiracy along with the scholars. Strong people execute work where execution of policies is involved. The king appoints priests, etc. to perform religious activities, economists and ministers to perform monetary activities, impotents to take care of women and cruel men to execute heinous activities.
The Role of the Vaishya
The duties of Vaishyas are trade, poultry-culture and agriculture. Vaishyas attain higher planes through charity and hospitality.
The Role of the Shudra
The duty of Shudras is to perform tasks that demand highly physical work and to serve the three upper classes. Although lower than the other three castes, the Shudras are not discriminated against. All other three sections namely Brahmana, Kshatriya and Vaisya protected Shudras and contributed for their safety and happiness. Krishna, eighth avatar of Vishnu was brought up in a Vaishya family though he was a born Kshatriya.

The Decline of Life
The living and moral standard of the people overall in the Dvapara Yuga drops immensely from the Treta Yuga. The average life expectancy of humans begins to fall to only 2,000 years in this era because of neglect of the Varnashram, Vedas and Yagyas. The Vedas especially become less active.
