Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

After one day of Brahmā, annihilation occurs during his night, which is of the same duration. At that time all the three planetary systems are subject to destruction. [Note: At the beginning of Brahmā’s night, the planets including Svarga are flooded. Later all the planets and Brahmā enter into Viṣṇu.] Tāvat means one thousand cycles of four yugas.
