Adhyāya 51: Kṛṣṇa’s Leave-Taking and Departure for Dvārakā (द्वारकागमनानुमति)
एते विश्वसृजो विप्रा जायन्तीह पुन: पुनः । तेभ्य: प्रसूतास्तेष्वेव महाभूतेषु पडचसु । प्रलीयन्ते यथाकालमूर्मय: सागरे यथा
ete viśvasṛjo viprā jāyantīha punaḥ punaḥ | tebhyaḥ prasūtāsteṣveva mahābhūteṣu pañcasu | pralīyante yathākālaṃ ūrmayaḥ sāgare yathā ||
Wika ni Vāyu: “Ang mga brahmin na pantas na ito—mga tagapaglikha ng mga daigdig—ay isinisilang dito nang paulit-ulit. Ipinanganganak mula sa limang dakilang elemento, at sa takdang panahon ay nalulusaw pabalik sa mismong mga elementong iyon, gaya ng mga alon na sumisibol sa karagatan at, sa kanilang panahon, muling humuhupa at nagbabalik dito.”

Educational Q&A
All manifested beings—even exalted creator-sages—arise repeatedly from the five elements and, in time, return to them. The wave-ocean simile teaches impermanence and the natural rhythm of creation and dissolution governed by kāla (time).
Vāyudeva explains to his listener that the great seers who participate in cosmic creation appear again and again in the world, being generated from the five mahābhūtas, and later dissolve back into those same elements—like waves that rise from the ocean and subside into it.
