When I become extinct, all the vital airs become extinct in the bodies of living creatures. When I move about they once more move about. Hence, I am the foremost. Behold I become extinct.
मयि प्रलीने प्रलयं व्रजन्ति सर्वे प्राणा: प्राणभृतां शरीरे। मयि प्रचीर्णे च पुनश्चरन्ति श्रेष्ठो ह्यहं पश्यत मां प्रलीनम्॥
