रात्रिस्तावत्तिथी ब्राह्मी तदादौ विश्वमीश्वरः प्रलयेऽध्यात्ममाविश्य सुप्त्वा सोऽन्ते विबुध्यते

English Translation

The same is the duration of Brahman's night. With the beginning of Brahman's day the universe begins to come into being. During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps, in Yoga-meditation. When the period of sleep expires, He awakes.
