Bhagavad Gita 8.19
भूतग्रामः स एवायं भूत्वा भूत्वा प्रलीयते।रात्र्यागमेऽवशः पार्थ प्रभवत्यहरागमे॥
bhūtagrāmaḥ sa evāyaṃ bhūtvā bhūtvā pralīyate |rātryāgame'vaśaḥ pārtha prabhavatyaharāgame ||
This same multitude of beings, being born again and again, helplessly dissolves, O Arjuna, into the Unmanifested at the coming of the night and comes forth at the coming of the day.
The same multitude of beings, which have lived on earth so often, all are dissolved as the night of the universe approaches, to issue forth anew when morning breaks. Thus, it is ordained.
Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
