Translation

Again and again, when Brahmā’s day arrives, all living entities come into being, and with the arrival of Brahmā’s night they are helplessly annihilated.

Igen og igen, når Brahmās dag bryder frem, bliver alle levende væsener til, og når Brahmās nat falder på, bliver de hjælpeløst udslettet.

Purport

The less intelligent, who try to remain within this material world, may be elevated to higher planets and then again must come down to this planet earth. During the daytime of Brahmā they can exhibit their activities on higher and lower planets within this material world, but at the coming of Brahmā’s night they are all annihilated. In the day they receive various bodies for material activities, and at night they no longer have bodies but remain compact in the body of Viṣṇu. Then again they are manifest at the arrival of Brahmā’s day. Bhūtvā bhūtvā pralīyate: during the day they become manifest, and at night they are annihilated again. Ultimately, when Brahmā’s life is finished, they are all annihilated and remain unmanifest for millions and millions of years. And when Brahmā is born again in another millennium they are again manifest. In this way they are captivated by the spell of the material world. But those intelligent persons who take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness use the human life fully in the devotional service of the Lord, chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. Thus they transfer themselves, even in this life, to the spiritual planet of Kṛṣṇa and become eternally blissful there, not being subject to such rebirths.

FORKLARING: Mindre intelligente personer, der forsøger at blive i denne materielle verden, kan blive ophøjet til højere planeter for bagefter at komme ned til Jorden igen. I løbet af Brahmās dag kan de udfolde deres aktiviteter på højere og lavere planeter inden for den materielle verden, men når Brahmās nat kommer, bliver de alle tilintetgjort. Om dagen får de forskellige kroppe til at udføre deres materielle handlinger i, og om natten har de ikke længere kroppe, men forbliver sammenpakket i Viṣṇus krop. Ved begyndelsen på Brahmās næste dag bliver de manifesteret igen. Bhūtvā bhūtvā pralīyate: Om dagen manifesteres de, og om natten går de atter til grunde. I sidste ende bliver de alle tilintetgjort, når Brahmās liv slutter, og forbliver umanifesterede i millioner og atter millioner af år. Og når Brahmā bliver født i en ny tidsalder, bliver de manifesteret igen. På denne måde holdes de fanget af den materielle verdens fortryllelse. Men intelligente personer, der engagerer sig i Kṛṣṇa-bevidsthed, anvender deres menneskelige livsform helt i Herrens hengivne tjeneste og synger Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. Derved overfører de tilmed i dette liv sig selv til Kṛṣṇas åndelige planet for der at blive evigt lyksalige og ikke mere være underkastet en sådan gentagen fødsel og død.
