Source of quote

Hare Krsna. I would like to know the source and the actual quotation relating to the statement that in Kali Yuga, our income is tainted as it is not earned with complete truthfulness. Charity is the only way to purify our earnings and our self.

Thank you.

Possibly Manu 1.86 (In the Krita age the chief (virtue) is declared to be (the performance of) austerities, in the Treta (divine) knowledge, in the Dvapara (the performance of) sacrifices, in the Kali liberality alone.). Related: BG 18.5, SB 10.5.4, 11.21.14
