जनलोके विवर्त्तन्ते संवर्त्तः प्लवते जगत् / व्युष्टायां तु रजन्यां वै ब्रह्मणो ऽव्यक्तयोनितः
Transliteration
janaloke vivarttante saṃvarttaḥ plavate jagat / vyuṣṭāyāṃ tu rajanyāṃ vai brahmaṇo 'vyaktayonitaḥ
Translation
They remain in Janaloka; in the Saṃvarta the world seems to drift upon the flood of dissolution. And when the night has passed, from Brahmā whose womb is the Unmanifest, creation rises again.
