He is the beginning, He is the middle, and He is the end of all created Beings. He is their Creator and He is the actor and He is the act. Having withdrawn the universe into Himself at the end of the cycle, He enters into sleep, and awakening at the beginning of another cycle, He once more creates the universe.
स आदिः स मध्यः स चान्तः प्रजानां स धाता स धेयं स कर्ता स कार्यम्। युगान्ते प्रसुप्तः सुसंक्षिप्य लोकान् युगादौ प्रबुद्धो जगद्व्युत्ससर्ज॥
