तदिदं पंचभूतेषु दृश्यते मामकैर्जनैः । सृष्टिर्भूमौ स्थितिस्तोये संहारः पावके तथा ६ ।
These activities are observed in the five elements by devotees—Sarga (creation) in the Earth, Sthiti (maintenance) in the waters, Saṃhāra (annihilation) in the fire, Tirobhāva (concealment) in the wind and Anugraha (liberation, the blessed state) in the firmament.
अर्द्यते तेजसा सर्वं वायुना चापनीयते । व्योम्नानुगृह्यते सर्वं ज्ञेयमेवं हि सूरिभिः ८ ।
Everything is urged by the fire, everything is removed by the wind and everything is blessed by the firmament. Thus intelligent men must know the same.
O sons, in view of your austerities you two have received the first two activities:—creation and maintenance. You have gratified me and are blessed therefore.
