Vaṃśānuvārṇana and the Transition to the Fourth (Upasaṃhāra) Pada
Devanagari script
आभूतसंप्लवात्तस्माद्भवः संसार उच्यते / यथा सर्वाणि भूतानां जायन्ते वर्षणेष्विह
Transliteration
ābhūtasaṃplavāttasmādbhavaḥ saṃsāra ucyate / yathā sarvāṇi bhūtānāṃ jāyante varṣaṇeṣviha
Translation
Since this becoming flows on until the great inundation and dissolution of beings, it is called bhava—saṃsāra; just as here, in the season of rains, all creatures come to birth.
