Calculation of Time, from the Atom
429
Svar;  trayaḥ —three;  niśāyām —in the night;  anuvṛttāyām —ordinary;  nirmukta —without glare;  śaśi —the moon;  bhāskaram —the sun.
TRANSLATION
When the night of Brahmā ensues, all the three worlds are out of sight, and the sun and the moon are without glare, just as in the due course of an ordinary night.
PURPORT
It is understood that the glare of the sun and moon disappear from the sphere of the three worlds, but the sun and the moon themselves do not vanish. They appear in the remaining portion of the universe, which is beyond the sphere of the three worlds. The portion in dissolution remains without sunrays or moonglow. It all remains dark and full of water, and there are indefatigable winds, as will be explained in the following verses.
TEXT 30
त्रिलोक्यां दह्यमानायां शक्तया सङ्घर्षणाग्निना। यान्त्यूष्मणा महलोकाञ्जनं भृग्वादयोऽर्दिताः ॥३०॥
trilokyām dahyamānāyām śaktyā saṅkarṣaṇāgninā yānty ūṣmaṇā maharlokāj janam bhṛgu-ādayo 'rditāḥ
trilokyām —when the spheres of the three worlds;  dahyamānāyām —being set ablaze;  śaktyā —by the potency;  saṅkarṣaṇa —from the mouth of Saṅkarṣaṇa;  agninā —by the fire;  yānti —they go;  ūṣmaṇā —heated by the warmth;  mahaḥ-lokāt —from Maharloka;  janam —to Janaloka;  bhṛgu —the sage  Bhṛgu ;  ādayaḥ —and others;  arditāḥ —being so distressed.
TRANSLATION
The devastation takes place due to the fire emanating from the mouth of Saṅkarṣaṇa, and thus great sages like Bhṛgu and other inhabitants of Maharloka transport themselves to Janaloka, being distressed by the warmth of the blazing fire which rages through the three worlds below.
