Shloka 21
Ābhūta-saṃplava & Loka-vibhāga
Dissolution Threshold and the Fourteen Abodes
Devanagari script
महेति व्यात्दृतेनैव महर्लोकस्ततो ऽभवत् / विनिवृत्ताधिकारणां देवानां तत्र वै क्षयः
Transliteration
maheti vyātdṛtenaiva maharlokastato 'bhavat / vinivṛttādhikāraṇāṃ devānāṃ tatra vai kṣayaḥ
Translation
By the utterance of the vyāhṛti “mahah” itself, Maharloka came into being. The devas whose authority has withdrawn there indeed meet their decline.
