Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 11 - Chapter 1 - Verse 14
Sanskrit:
हृतरूपं तु तमसा वायौ ज्योति: प्रलीयते ।हृतस्पर्शोऽवकाशेन वायुर्नभसि लीयते ।कालात्मना हृतगुणं नभ आत्मनि लीयते ॥ १४ ॥
ITRANS:
hṛta-rūpaṁ tu tamasāvāyau jyotiḥ pralīyatehṛta-sparśo ’vakāśenavāyur nabhasi līyatekālātmanā hṛta-guṇaṁnabha ātmani līyate
Translation:
Fire, deprived of its form by darkness, dissolves into the element air. When the air loses its quality of touch by the influence of space, the air merges into that space. When space is deprived of its tangible quality by the Supreme Soul in the form of time, space merges into false ego in the mode of ignorance.
