Adhyāya 96: Nārada Guides Mātali in Varuṇa’s Realm
Varuṇa-loka Darśana
ते च क्षयान्ते जगतो हित्वा लोकत्रयं सदा । क्षयं गच्छन्ति वै सर्वे सृज्यन्ते च पुन: पुन:,जगत्का विनाश होनेके पश्चात् ये चन्द्र, सूर्य आदि तीनों लोकोंका सदाके लिये परित्याग करके नष्ट हो जाते हैं। फिर सृष्टिकालमें इन सबकी बारंबार सृष्टि होती है
te ca kṣayānte jagato hitvā lokatrayaṁ sadā | kṣayaṁ gacchanti vai sarve sṛjyante ca punaḥ punaḥ ||
ກັນວະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ເມື່ອວົງຈັກໂລກສິ້ນສຸດ ສິ່ງເຫຼົ່ານີ້ກໍລະທິ້ງສາມໂລກໄປ ແລ້ວເຂົ້າສູ່ຄວາມລະລາຍ. ແຕ່ເມື່ອເວລາແຫ່ງການສ້າງກັບຄືນ ພວກມັນກໍຖືກສ້າງຂຶ້ນໃໝ່ ຄັ້ງແລ້ວຄັ້ງເລົ່າ».

Educational Q&A
Even the three worlds and the great cosmic structures are not permanent; they dissolve at the end of a cycle and reappear at creation. The teaching emphasizes the rule-governed rhythm of time and the impermanence of all conditioned existence.
Kaṇva is describing the cosmic process: at the world’s dissolution, beings or cosmic constituents abandon the three worlds and perish; when creation begins again, they are produced repeatedly. The statement supports a broader reflection on time, fate, and the limits of worldly stability.
