Lokakalpanā / The Ordering of the Worlds
Cosmogony and Earth’s Retrieval
इत्येते प्राकृताश्चैव वैकृताश्च नव स्मृताः / सर्गाः परस्परोत्पन्नाः कारणं तु बुधैः स्मृतम्
ityete prākṛtāścaiva vaikṛtāśca nava smṛtāḥ / sargāḥ parasparotpannāḥ kāraṇaṃ tu budhaiḥ smṛtam
Thus the prākṛta and the vaikirta creations are remembered as nine; these creations arise from one another, and the wise declare this to be the causal principle.
