Vaṃśānuvārṇana and the Transition to the Fourth (Upasaṃhāra) Pada
स स्रष्टा सर्वभूतानां कल्पादिषु पुनः पुनः / एवमेशायित्वा तु ह्यात्मन्येव प्रजापतिः
sa sraṣṭā sarvabhūtānāṃ kalpādiṣu punaḥ punaḥ / evameśāyitvā tu hyātmanyeva prajāpatiḥ
He, Prajāpati, is the creator of all beings, again and again at the beginnings of the kalpas; thus having exercised lordship, he abides at last within his own Self.
