वासुदेवस्वरूपनिरूपणं—सर्गक्रमश्च
Vāsudeva’s Nature and the Ordered Process of Creation
संभक्षयित्वा भूतानि जगत्य् एकार्णवीकृते नागपर्यङ्कशयने शेते ऽसौ परमेश्वरः
saṃbhakṣayitvā bhūtāni jagaty ekārṇavīkṛte nāgaparyaṅkaśayane śete 'sau parameśvaraḥ
Sau khi thu hồi và nuốt trọn mọi loài, khi thế gian trở thành một đại dương duy nhất, Đấng Tối Thượng an nghỉ trong yoga-nidrā trên giường rắn (Ananta).
Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya)
It marks pralaya, when differentiated creation is withdrawn and the cosmos returns to an undivided, flooded state before the next cycle begins.
He portrays dissolution as the Lord’s sovereign act of reabsorbing beings into Himself, after which He rests upon Śeṣa in the cosmic waters.
Vishnu is presented as Parameśvara—the supreme reality who governs creation and dissolution, remaining transcendent even as the universe is reabsorbed.
