प्रत्याहारवर्णनम्
Pratyāhāra—Cosmic Withdrawal / Dissolution Sequence
आपो ग्रसंति वै पूर्वं भूमेर्गन्धात्मकं गुमम् / आत्तगन्धा ततो भूमिः प्रलयत्वाय कल्पते
āpo grasaṃti vai pūrvaṃ bhūmergandhātmakaṃ gumam / āttagandhā tato bhūmiḥ pralayatvāya kalpate
First the waters swallow the earth’s own quality of fragrance (gandha). Deprived of scent, the earth then becomes fit for pralaya, the state of dissolution.
