Sanskrit Text
स
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.
