Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 8, Verse 19

भूतग्रामः स एवायं भूत्वा भूत्वा प्रलीयते । रात्र्यागमेऽवशः पार्थ प्रभवत्यहरागमे ॥ १९ ॥

bhūta-grāmaḥ sa evāyaṁ bhūtvā bhūtvā pralīyate rātryāgame ’vaśhaḥ pārtha prabhavatyahar-āgame

Translation

This same multitude of beings, coming into being again and again, dissolves helplessly at the coming of night, O Parth, and comes forth again at the coming of day.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

हे पार्थ! वही यह भूत-समुदाय उत्पन्न हो-होकर प्रकृति के वश में हुआ रात्रि के प्रवेश काल में लीन होता है और दिन के प्रवेश काल में फिर उत्पन्न होता है।

Commentary

Avaśhaḥ — "helplessly." Beings bound by karma cannot step off this wheel by themselves; they are carried along by it, again and again.
