Puruṣa-sūkta Confirmed
325
Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, He creates Brahmā, Śiva and many other demigods for maintenance of the universe and again absorbs the whole thing into His person, as is confirmed in the  Bhagavad-gītā :
sarva-bhūtāni kaunteya prakṛtiṁ vānti māmikām kalpakṣaye punas tāni kalpādau visṛjāmy aham.  (Bg. 9.7)
“O son of Kuntī, when the  kalpa  or the duration of the life of Brahmā is ended, then all the created manifestations enter into My  prakṛti , or energy, and again, when I desire, the same creation takes place by My personal energy.”
The conclusion is that these are all displays of the Lord’s inconceivable personal energies only, of which no one can have any full information, and this point we have already discussed.
