Shloka 21
मेरोर्दिग्वर्णनम् / Digvarṇana of Meru: Uttara-Kuru, Bhadrāśva, and Jambūdvīpa Motifs
सृजते च पुन: सर्व विद्यते नेह शाश्वतम् । नरो नारायणश्चैव सर्वज्ञ: सर्वभूतहृत्
sṛjate ca punaḥ sarvaṃ vidyate neha śāśvatam | naro nārāyaṇaś caiva sarvajñaḥ sarvabhūtahṛt ||
वही फिर सबकी सृष्टि करता है। यहाँ कुछ भी शाश्वत नहीं है। भगवान् नर और नारायण सर्वज्ञ हैं और समस्त प्राणियों के सुहृद् हैं।

The verse emphasizes the cyclical nature of creation and the impermanence of worldly states, while affirming Nara-Nārāyaṇa (Viṣṇu) as the omniscient, inner well-wisher of all beings—encouraging steadiness in dharma amid change.
Vaiśampāyana, as narrator, describes the Lord’s recurring act of creation and identifies the divine pair Nara and Nārāyaṇa with Viṣṇu, noting how different communities (gods and humans) refer to the same supreme deity by different names.
