एकार्मवे तदा ह्यो वै न शीघ्रस्तेन ता नराः / तस्मिन्युगसहस्रान्ते दिवसे ब्रह्मणो गते
Transliteration
ekārmave tadā hyo vai na śīghrastena tā narāḥ / tasminyugasahasrānte divase brahmaṇo gate
Translation
In that single cosmic ocean (ekārṇava) there was then no swiftness; thus those beings were without motion. When, at the end of a thousand yugas, Brahmā’s day had passed.
