Translation -
Just as the Sun appears to be born of Night, as it appears after its expiry, and Night is born of the Sun as it sets in the evening, so the existence of God is perceived by beholding the Great Night of Dissolution, which in reality is created by Him.
Footnote -
God creates the universe which last 4320000000 years which is called Brahma Day. He dissolves the universe. Matter goes into its atomic state, and thus lasts for the same period. It is called Brahma Night. This process is beginningless and endless.
