Bhūtasarga-Prakaraṇa
Account of Elemental Creation from Avyakta to Mahat
हिरण्मयस्तु यो मेरुस्तस्योद्धर्तुर्महात्मनः / गर्तोदकं सबुदास्तु हरेयुश्चापि पञ्चताः
hiraṇmayastu yo merustasyoddharturmahātmanaḥ / gartodakaṃ sabudāstu hareyuścāpi pañcatāḥ
As for the golden Meru—by the great-souled one who lifts it—let even the pit-water with its bubbles be carried away; and let the five elements, too, return to pañcatā.
