upasaṃhāraḥ pūrvoktasya | ātmasambandhibhyāṃ jāgratsvapnābhyāṃ carācaram sthāvaraṃ jaṅgamaṃ jīvayati mārayati ca jagat | avyayo'vināśī |
Thus by waking and sleeping, the Imperishable One incessantly brings to like and destroys all this that is moveable and immoveable.—(57)
Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
This verse recapitulates what has been said before.
By means of his own ‘waking and sleeping,’ he produces and destroys the world consisting of moveable and immoveable beings, i.e., vegetables and animals. ‘Imperishable’—Indestructible.—(57).
