Lokakalpanā / The Ordering of the Worlds
Cosmogony and Earth’s Retrieval
निवृत्ता वर्तमानाश्च प्रजायन्ते पुनःपुनः / भूतादिकानां सत्त्वानां षष्ठः सर्गः स उच्यते
nivṛttā vartamānāśca prajāyante punaḥpunaḥ / bhūtādikānāṃ sattvānāṃ ṣaṣṭhaḥ sargaḥ sa ucyate
Those that have subsided and those that are present are born again and again; this is called the sixth creation (sarga) of beings beginning with the bhūtas and the like.
