Devanagari script
एवं प्रकृतित: सर्वे प्रवर्तन्ते शरीरिण: । निवर्तन्ते निवृत्तौ च स्वर्ग चैवोपयान्ति च,इस प्रकार समस्त प्राणी प्रकृतिसे उत्पन्न होते और यथासमय उसीमें लयको प्राप्त होते हैं। उस लय अथवा मृत्युके पश्चात् वे पुण्य और पापके फलस्वरूप स्वर्ग और नरकमें जाते हैं
Transliteration
evaṁ prakṛtitaḥ sarve pravartante śarīriṇaḥ | nivartante nivṛttau ca svargaṁ caivopayānti ca ||
Translation
Bhīṣma said: Thus, all embodied beings arise and set forth from Prakṛti (material nature). In due course, at dissolution (death), they withdraw back into that very source. Thereafter, according to the fruits of their merit and demerit, they attain the worlds of heaven and hell.
