एकार्णावजलीभूता सर्वसत्वविवर्जिता । महासत्वान्यपि विभुं प्रविष्टान्यमितौजसं
ekārṇāvajalībhūtā sarvasatvavivarjitā | mahāsatvānyapi vibhuṃ praviṣṭānyamitaujasaṃ
ครั้นแล้วสรรพสิ่งกลายเป็นมหาสมุทรน้ำหนึ่งเดียวอันไร้ขอบเขต ปราศจากสรรพสัตว์ทั้งปวง; แม้มหาสัตว์ผู้ยิ่งใหญ่ก็ยังหลอมรวมเข้าสู่พระผู้เป็นเจ้าผู้แผ่ซ่านทั่ว ผู้ทรงเดชานุภาพหาประมาณมิได้
Narrator (contextual; specific dialogue speaker not identifiable from this single verse alone)
Concept: At dissolution, all beings—gross and subtle—return into the all-pervading Lord; individuality is contingent, the Divine is the abiding ground.
Application: Practice daily ‘returning’ of anxieties and ego-claims into the Lord through japa and surrender; remember impermanence to soften attachment and cultivate steadiness.

FAQs
It describes pralaya-like dissolution: the world becomes a single cosmic ocean (ekārṇāva), with no visible creatures, and beings are said to merge into the all-pervading Lord.
“Vibhu” means the all-pervading, supreme Lord; in the Padma Purana’s typical theological framing, this often points to the supreme deity (commonly read in a Vaishnava sense as Viṣṇu), though the verse itself uses the epithet rather than a proper name.
The verse emphasizes impermanence of manifested creation and the ultimate dependence of all beings—even great beings—upon the supreme, immeasurable source into which they dissolve.
