śrīgaruḍamahāpurāṇam- 224
sūta uvāca /
caturyugasahasrānte brāhmo naimittiko layaḥ /
anāvṛṣṭiśca kalpānte jāyate śatavārṣikī //
Sūta said: / At the end of a thousand cycles of the four ages, the conditional dissolution belonging to Brahmā takes place; / and at the end of the kalpa, a drought lasting a hundred years occurs.
1.224.2
utiṣṭhanti tadā raudrā divi sapta divākarāḥ /
te tu pītvā jalaṃ sarvaṃ śoṣayanti jagattrayam //
Then seven terrible suns arise in the sky; / having drunk up all the water, they dry up the three worlds.
1.224.3
bhūrbhuvaḥ svarmaharlokaṃ carācaraṃ janastathā /
viṣṇuśca rudro bhūtvāsau pātālāni dahatyadhaḥ //
The worlds Bhūḥ, Bhuvaḥ, Svaḥ, Mahar, and Jana, with all that moves and is still, [dry up]; / and Viṣṇu, having assumed the form of Rudra, burns the nether worlds below.
1.224.4
viṣṇurdahettrilokañci mukhānmeghān sṛjatyalam /
varṣante vai varṣaśataṃ nānāvarṇā mahāghanāḥ //
Viṣṇu burns the three worlds and releases vast clouds from his mouth; / for a hundred years, great clouds of varied colors pour down rain.
1.224.5
viṣṇurūpaḥśataṃ vāti varṣāṇāṃ vāyurūrjitaḥ /
viṣṇure kārṇavī bhūte varṣe brahmasvarūpadhṛk /
śete 'nantāsane viṣṇurnaṣṭe sthāvarajaṅgame //
A mighty wind, the very form of Viṣṇu, blows for a hundred years. / When the universe has become a single ocean of rain, Viṣṇu, assuming the form of Brahmā, / lies on the serpent couch, all moving and unmoving creation having perished.
1.224.6
suptvā varṣasahasraṃ sa jagadbhūyo 'sṛjaddhariḥ /
atha prākṛtikaṃ vakṣye pralayaṃ śṛṇu śaunaka //
Having slept for a thousand years, Hari created the world again. / Now I shall declare the elemental dissolution; listen, O Śaunaka.
1.224.7
pūrṇe saṃvatsaraśate saṃhṛtya sakalaṃ jagat /
brahmāṇaṃ nyasya dehe hi mukto yogabalairhariḥ //
When a full hundred [divine] years are complete, Hari withdraws the whole universe, / deposits Brahmā within his body, and is liberated by the powers of yoga.
1.224.8
ye gatā brahmaṇaḥ sthānaṃ te 'pi yānti paraṃ padam /
anāvṛṣṭyarkasampannā āsanmeghāstathā dvija /
śataṃ varṣāṇi varṣadbhirmedhairaṇḍaṃ prapūryate //
Those who have gone to the abode of Brahmā also go to the supreme state. / Drought and the suns arise, and likewise clouds, O twice-born; / by clouds raining for a hundred years, the cosmic egg is filled.
1.224.9
antargatena toyena bhinnamaṇḍaṃ jagatpateḥ /
pūrṇe brahmāyuṣi gate bhidyate 'mbhasi līyate //
The cosmic egg of the Lord of the world is split open by the waters within; / when the full lifespan of Brahmā has expired, it breaks and dissolves into the water.
1.224.10
evaṃ sā jagadādhārā toye corvo pralīyate /
āpastejasi līyante tejo vāyau pralīyate //
Thus the earth, the foundation of the world, dissolves into water; / water dissolves into fire, and fire dissolves into wind.
1.224.11
vāyuḥ khe khañca bhūtādau viśate ca tadā mahān /
mahānprapadyate 'vyaktaṃ prakṛtiḥ puruṣe pare //
Wind dissolves into space, and space into ego; then the cosmic intellect enters [the ego]; / the cosmic intellect dissolves into the unmanifest, and primordial nature into the supreme Puruṣa.
1.224.12
śatavarṣaṃ hariḥ śete sṛjatyatha dinagame /
avyaktādikrameṇaiva vyaktībhūtaṃ carācaram //
Hari sleeps for a hundred years; then, at the arrival of day, / he creates the moving and unmoving creation, manifested in the order beginning with the unmanifest.
1.224.12.p1
iti śrīgāruḍe mahāpurāṇe pūrvakhaṇḍe prathamāṃśākhye ācārakāṇḍe naimittikapralayonāma caturviṃśatyadhikadviśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
