وأعاد تشكيلَ هذا الكونِ المؤلَّف من المتحرّك والثابت كما كان من قبل؛ ويا أفضلَ البراهمة، أُقيمت الكائناتُ الساكنةُ وسائرُ الموجودات من جديد في مواضعها الخاصة، حيث كانت قائمةً من قبل.

It underscores cosmic order (ṛta): after dissolution, creation is re-manifested in an orderly way, with all beings—mobile and immobile—re-established according to their prior arrangement, highlighting the intelligible, law-governed nature of the universe.
By portraying creation as a deliberate re-ordering under divine governance, the verse supports a bhakti worldview: the devotee trusts that the cosmos is sustained by a higher intelligence, encouraging surrender and steadiness in devotion amid cycles of change.
No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught in this verse; the key takeaway is the Purāṇic cosmological principle of periodic re-manifestation (sṛṣṭi) and re-establishment (vyavasthā) of beings, which frames ritual and dharma within a stable cosmic order.
