Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 10, Chapter 20, Text 16

SB 10.20.16

marga babhuvuh sandigdhas
 trnais channa hy asamskrtah
nabhyasyamanah srutayo
 dvijaih kalena cahatah
 
Translation: 
 
During the rainy season the roads, not being cleansed, became covered with grass and debris and were thus difficult to make out. These roads were like religious scriptures that brahmanas no longer study and that thus become corrupted and covered over with the passage of time.
