Time, Brahma and the Vedas and the Brahmanas and all the mobile and immobile creatures have all sprung from you. Vapours rising up from expanses of water are turned into rain drops and which falling upon the earth, are separated from one another. When the hour of the universal dissolution comes, those separated individual drops once more : unite together and make the earth one vast sheet of water.
अद्भ्यः स्तोका यान्ति यथा पृथक्त्वं ताभिश्चैक्यं संक्षये यान्ति भूयः। एवं विद्वान् प्रभवं चाप्ययं च मत्वा भूतानां तव सायुज्यमेति॥
