Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 19
तस्मादेतज्जगत्सर्वं चराचरम् । तस्मिन्नेव लयं याति युगान्ते समुपस्थिते
tasmādetajjagatsarvaṃ carācaram | tasminneva layaṃ yāti yugānte samupasthite
म्हणून हे सर्व जगत—चर आणि अचर—त्याच्यापासूनच प्रकट होते; आणि युगांत आला की त्याच्यातच लीन होते।
Śiva (deduced from immediate continuation where Mahādeva addresses Devī)
Scene: A vast panorama of pralaya: oceans rising, mountains dissolving, beings merging into a single luminous Parameśvara at the center; the universe folds back like a lotus closing at dusk.
