Sanskrit Text

देवलोके विहरत्यभीक्ष्णं; ततश्च्युतो मानुषतामुपैति संहारविक्षेपशतानि चाष्टौ; मर्त्येषु तिष्ठन्नमृतत्वमेति

English Translation

Individual Soul sports for many long Kalpas in the world of Devas. Falling thence, he once more becomes a man. He then lives in that condition for the period of a hundred and cight Kalpas. He then attains once more to the a status of a Deity. If while born as a man he falls through Kala, he then sinks into the Dark colour and thus occupies the very lowest of all stages of existence. I shall tell you, now, O foremost of Asuras, how Individual Soul succeeds in bringing about his Liberation.
