क्षणकल्पजगत्संघा समुद्यन्ति गलन्ति च ।
निमेषात्कस्यचित्कल्पात्कस्यचिच्च क्रमं श्रृणु ॥ ३० ॥

kṣaṇakalpajagatsaṃghā samudyanti galanti ca |
nimeṣātkasyacitkalpātkasyacicca kramaṃ śrṛṇu || 30 ||

All the worlds are either of a longer or shorter duration, and they appear and disappear at times; some of these vanish in a moment, and others endure to the end of a Kalpa. But it is not so with the mind, whose progress I will now relate to you.
