Unspecified (narrative voice within Sṛṣṭi-khaṇḍa creation teaching; speaker not identifiable from the single verse alone)
Concept: All states and forms—gross and subtle—emanate from the Supreme at creation and return to Him as vāsanās; dissolution is reabsorption into the source.
Application: Watch how impressions (vāsanās) drive reactions; reduce harmful vāsanās through japa, sāttvika habits, and vrata-discipline; redirect latent tendencies into devotion (bhakti-vāsanā).

FAQs
It presents a cyclical model: entities or states arise from the Supreme at the beginning of creation and later dissolve back into the same source, persisting as latent impressions (vāsanās).
It indicates manifestation at multiple levels: subtle principles (inner/causal, unmanifest tendencies) and gross forms (visible, embodied, material expression) within creation.
Since actions and experiences leave latent impressions that shape future experience, the verse supports self-discipline and purification of tendencies through right conduct, devotion, and contemplative practice.
