iti shodasakam namnam kali-kalmasah nasanam
na ta parataropayah sarva vedesu drisyate
This 16-word mahamantra of the Holy Names of the Supreme Lord destroys the defects of this degraded age of Kali. There is no higher path, I have personally scrutinised all the Vedas.
(Lord Brahma in Brhad Naradiya Upanishad)
