Verse 26

²²A thousand ages of the three worlds is one day of what lies outside them, up to Brahma; and the night is just as long, dear one, when the maker of the world shuts his eyes. ²³Begun as the night ends, the shaping of the worlds runs on for the whole day of the revered one, eating up fourteen Manus. ²⁴Each Manu has his own time, a little over seventy-one. In the intervals of the Manus there come to be, all at the same time, the Manus, those born in their lines, the sages, the gods, the lords of the gods, and those who come after them. ²⁵This is the day-by-day making that belongs to Brahma, the turning of the three worlds, in which beasts and men and fathers and gods come to be by their works.

²⁶Through the intervals of the Manus the Bhagavan carries clarity, and by his own forms, the Manus and the rest, he guards this world, his power come out into the open.
