### [1.15.138](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.15.138)

ete yugasahasrānte jāyante punar eva hi  
sarve devagaṇās tāta trayas triṃśat tu chandajāḥ  
teṣām apīha satataṃ nirodhotpattir ucyate //

> These classes of thirty-three divinities are born again at the end of a thousand ages, according to their own pleasure; and their appearance and disappearance is here spoken of as birth and death: but, Maitreya, these divine personages exist age after age in the same manner as the sun sets and rises again.  
> — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition
