Šriji Caiitanya -cariitāmrta
[[Madhya-lijā. Ch. 6
This was the answer given by father Varuṇa when questioned by his son Vāruṇī Bhṛgu about the Absolute Truth. In this  mantra , the word  yataḥ , the Absolute Truth from which the cosmic manifestation has emanated, is in the ablative case; that Brahman by which this universal creation is maintained is in the instrumental case ( yena ); and that Brahman into which the whole cosmic manifestation merges is in the locative case ( yat  or  yasmin ). It is stated in  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam :
idaṁ hi viśvaṁ bhagavān ivetaro yato jagat-sthāna-nirodha-sambhavāḥ
“The entire universal creation is contained in the gigantic form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Everything emanates from Him, everything rests in His energy, and after annihilation everything merges into His person.” ( Bhāg.  1.5.20)
