Sanskrit Text

प्रजाविसर्गं तु सशेषकालं; स्थानानि स्वान्येव सरन्ति जीवाः निःशेषाणां तत्पदं यान्ति चान्ते; सर्वापदा ये सदृशा मनुष्याः

English Translation

When the time of universal dissolution sets in, those Individual Souls who have acquired the position of Devas and who have an unspent residue of the fruits of acts to enjoy or endure, return to those stages of life in the subsequent Kalpa which had been theirs in the pristine one. This is owing to the likeness of every successive Kalpa to every previous one.
