Translations
From the Unmanifested, all the manifested worlds proceed upon the arrival of the 'day'; upon the arrival of the 'night', they dissolve indeed into that which is known as the Unmanifested.
At the dawn of that day, all objects in manifestation stream forth from the Unmanifest, and when evening falls, they are dissolved back into it again.
With the coming of day, all manifested things emerge from the Unmanifest, and when night comes, they merge into that which is called the Unmanifested.
ब्रह्माजीके दिनके आरम्भकालमें अव्यक्त- (ब्रह्माजीके सूक्ष्म-शरीर-) से सम्पूर्ण प्राणी पैदा होते हैं और ब्रह्माजीकी रातके आरम्भकालमें उसी अव्यक्तमें सम्पूर्ण प्राणी लीन हो जाते हैं।Commentary
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)
