Ābhūta-saṃplava & Loka-vibhāga

Dissolution Threshold and the Fourteen Abodes

Devanagari script

जनलोके विवर्त्तन्ते संवर्त्तः प्लवते जगत् / व्युष्टायां तु रजन्यां वै ब्रह्मणो ऽव्यक्तयोनितः

Transliteration

janaloke vivarttante saṃvarttaḥ plavate jagat / vyuṣṭāyāṃ tu rajanyāṃ vai brahmaṇo 'vyaktayonitaḥ

Translation

Они пребывают в Джаналоке; во время Самварты мир словно плывёт в водах пралайи. А когда ночь проходит, из Брахмы, чьё лоно — Непроявленное, вновь восходит творение.
