Sanskrit Text

हारिद्रवर्णस्तु प्रजाविसर्गा;न्सहस्रशस्तिष्ठति संचरन्वै अविप्रमुक्तो निरये दैत्य; ततः सहस्राणि दशापराणि

English Translation

Having acquired the Yellow colour, Individual Soul exists for thousands of Kalpas, sporting as a Deity. Without, however, being emancipated, he has to live in hell, enjoying or enduring the fruits of his acts of past Kalpas and passing through nine and then thousand courses. Know that Individual Soul then becomes freed from the hell as represented heaven. Similarly Individual Soul escapes other births.
