Mahadeva shone like the full-moon. The fire born of his energy shone ini effulgence like lightning that flashes amid clouds. It seemed as if a thousand suns rose there, filling every quarter with a dazzling splendour. That energy of the Supreme Lord looked like the Samvartaka fire which destroys all creatures at the end of the Yoga.
अशोभत महादेवः पौर्णमास्यामिवोडुराट्। तस्य तेजोभवो वह्निः समेघः सन्तयित्नुमान्।।२४५ सहस्रमिव सूर्याणां सर्वमापूर्य धिष्ठितः। ईश्वरः सुमहातेजाः संवर्तक इवानलः॥ युगान्ते सर्वभूतानां दिधक्षुरिव चोद्यतः।
