अव्यक्ताद् व्यक्तयः सर्वाः प्रभवन्त्यहरागमे | रात्र्यागमे प्रलीयन्ते तत्रैवाव्यक्तसंज्ञके
avyaktād vyaktayaḥ sarvāḥ prabhavantyaharāgame . rātryāgame pralīyante tatraivāvyaktasaṃjñake
白晝來臨時,所有顯現之物皆從「無顯」(Avyakta)中生起;夜晚來臨時,它們便融入那被稱為「無顯」的本體之中。
With the coming of day all manifested things emerge from the Unmanifest and when night comes they merge in that itself which is called the Unmanifested.
當梵天(Brahma)醒來時,所有顯現之物,無論是動的還是不動的(有生機的或無生機的),都在白晝來臨時從「無顯」(Avyakta)中湧現。當梵天入睡時,所有顯現之物都融入「無顯」之中,因為宇宙之夜已經降臨。「白晝來臨」意味著創造的開始;「夜晚來臨」意味著毀滅的開始。
When Brahma awakes? all manifestations? moving and unmoving (animate and inanimate) stream forth at the coming of the day from the Avyakta or the Unmanifested. When Brahma goes to sleep? all the manifestations merge in the Unmanifested? for the cosmic night has set in.Coming of the day Commencement of creation.Coming of the night Commencement of dissolution. (Cf.IX.7and8)
