Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
ब्रह्मा के दिन के आगमन पर अव्यक्त से सब व्यक्त (प्रकट) प्राणी उत्पन्न होते हैं और रात्रि के आने पर उसी अव्यक्त में लीन हो जाते हैं।
English Translation
At the coming of Brahma's day, all manifest beings come forth from the unmanifest; at the fall of night, they dissolve into that same unmanifest.
Commentary (टीका)
The cosmic rhythm of creation and dissolution repeats endlessly. All manifest beings emerge from the unmanifest potential at the dawn of Brahma's day and merge back at nightfall. This vast cosmic cycle emphasizes the impermanence of all created existence and the need to seek what lies beyond these cycles.
