The Sanskrit text of the Bhrigu-samhita, an ancient text belonging to the Vaikhanasa Agama section of the Pancaratra tradition and dates to at least 11th century (or earlier). The name “Bhrigusamhita” literally means “The Compendium of Bhrigu” and basically represents a work on Vaishnava theology. The English translation of the Bhrigu-samhita is indicatory only as it was performed by a translation software. Alternative titles: Bhṛgusaṃhitā (भृगुसंहिता), Bhṛgu-saṃhitā (भृगु-संहिता), Bhrgusamhita.

प्रत्यक्षरूपधृग्देवो न कलौ दृश्यते यतः ।
कृतादिष्विव तेनैव त्रियुगः कलिरुच्यते ॥ २१ ॥

pratyakṣarūpadhṛgdevo na kalau dṛśyate yataḥ |
kṛtādiṣviva tenaiva triyugaḥ kalirucyate || 21 ||

Note! The following is not a translation of the above verse, but merely an arbitrary extract of the English text.

Because the god who assumes a direct form is not seen in Kali-yuga. Just as in the beginning of the universe, the three ages are called Kali-yuga.
