Not an answer, strictly -- verses with a similar construction (the
names of the four yugas put into saptami/locative) are not
uncommon. See for example the entries in L. Sternbach's Mahasubhashita
Samgraha. Vol. 6. Hoshiarpur 1987 (posthumously publ. by S. Bhaskaran
Nair), Nos. 11113-11127 (verses beginning with k.rte...).

Another example, randomly chosen, Bhagavatapurana 12.3.52 (k.rte yad
dhyaayato vi.s.nu.m tretaayaa.m yajato makhai.h | dvaapare
paricaryaayaa.m kalau tad dharikiirtanaat ||).
