स्वेस्वेन्तरे सर्वमिदं समुत्पाद्य चराचरं । कल्पक्षये निवृत्ते तु मुच्यंते ब्रह्मणा सह
svesventare sarvamidaṃ samutpādya carācaraṃ | kalpakṣaye nivṛtte tu mucyaṃte brahmaṇā saha
തത്തത്ത മന്വന്തരങ്ങളിൽ അവർ ഈ സമസ്ത ചരാചര ലോകവും സൃഷ്ടിക്കുന്നു; കല്പാന്ത്യത്തിലെ പ്രളയം വന്നാൽ അവർ ബ്രഹ്മാവിനോടൊപ്പം മോക്ഷം പ്രാപിക്കുന്നു।

FAQs
It presents a cyclical cosmology: beings (moving and unmoving) arise within recurring cycles, and at the end of a kalpa the manifested order ceases (pralaya), marking a transition described here as release.
The verse states “they are liberated along with Brahmā,” implying the beings associated with that cycle are released when the kalpa ends; the exact group is clearer in the surrounding verses, but the key point is liberation coinciding with cosmic dissolution.
It denotes the totality of manifested existence—sentient movers (animals, humans, gods) and stationary forms (plants, mountains, etc.)—highlighting that the entire created cosmos is encompassed within the cycle of creation and dissolution.
