सृष्टिं सर्गे करोत्य् एष देवदेवः स्थितौ स्थितिम् अन्ते ऽन्ताय समर्थो ऽयं साम्प्रतं वै यथा कृतम्

দেৱদেৱ এই প্ৰভু সৰ্গকালত সৃষ্টি কৰে; স্থিতিকালত স্থিতি ধাৰণ কৰে; আৰু অন্তত লয় কৰিবলৈ সম্পূৰ্ণ সমৰ্থ—যেনে এতিয়া যথাযথভাবে বৰ্ণিত হ’ল।
Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya)
This verse summarizes the three cosmic functions—creation, preservation, and dissolution—as acts governed by the same Supreme Lord (Vishnu), establishing a unified theology of cosmic order.
Parāśara presents Vishnu as the single competent sovereign who initiates creation, sustains the world during its continuance, and withdraws it at the end—framing cosmology as divine governance rather than impersonal mechanics.
Vishnu is affirmed as Devadeva—the Supreme Reality who presides over all phases of the cosmos—supporting the Purana’s Vaishnava view that ultimate causality and control belong to the personal Lord.
