Texts 40-41 ] Purusa-sikta Confirmed 325
Garbhodakasgayi Visnu, He creates Brahma, Siva and many other demigods
for maintenance of the universe and again absorbs the whole thing into His
person, as is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita:

sarva-bhiitani kaunteya prakrtim vanti mamikam

kalpaksaye punas tani kalpadau visrjamy aham.

(Bg. 9.7)

“O son of Kunti, when the kalpa or the duration of the life of Brahma is
ended, then all the created manifestations enter into My prakrti, 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.
