Karma–Vidyā Distinction: Paths of Bondage and Release
Devanagari script
एवं विस्तारसंक्षेपौ ब्रह्माव्यक्ते पुन: पुन: । युगसाहस्रयोरादावहो रात्रस्तथैव च,इस प्रकार बारंबार अव्यक्त परब्रह्ममें सृष्टिका विस्तार और लय होता है। ब्रह्माजीका दिन एक हजार चतुर्युगका होता है और उनकी रात भी उतनी ही बड़ी होती है; यह बात पहले ही बता दी गयी है
Translation
“Thus, again and again, within the unmanifest Brahman (avyakta), creation expands and is dissolved. A single day of Brahmā lasts a thousand caturyugas, and his night is of equal length—this has already been stated before.”
