TRANSLATION

Lord Brahma said: At the end of the dvi-parardha, when the
pastimes of the Lord come to an end, Lord Visnu, by a flick of His
eyebrows, vanquishes the entire universe, including our places of
residence. Such personalities as me and Lord Siva, as well as Daksa,
Bhrgu and similar great saints of which they are the head, and also
the rulers of the living entities, the rulers of human society and
the rulers of the demigods—all of us surrender to that Supreme
Personality of Godhead, Lord Visnu, bowing our heads, to carry
out His orders for the benefit of all living entities.

PURPORT

In Bhagavad-gita (10.34) it is said, mrtyuh sarva-haras céham: when
the Supreme Personality of Godhead approaches as death, or the
supreme controller of time, He takes everything away. In other words, all
opulence, prestige and everything we possess is given by the Supreme
Lord for some purpose. It is the duty of the surrendered soul to execute
the orders of the Supreme. No one can disregard Him. Under the circum-
stances, Lord Brahma refused to give shelter to Durvasa Muni from the
powerful Sudarsana cakra sent by the Lord.
