8.1.10

jagatastattvamādyaṃ yattanme vada yathepsitam |
jāyate kuta evedaṃ kutaścedaṃ pratiṣṭhitam ||

O Deva! Now tell me what is the ultimate cause of this Universe: whence has this Universe its origin? And how does it rest? To whom does it take refuge? Where does it dissolve in the time of Pralaya? Where do all the Karmas of these beings go to? And what Object is that whose knowledge destroys forever the Mâyâ, the Cause of all this Moha (illusion)? Whose worship, what Japam, and Whose meditation in the lotus of heart are to he made, by which, O Deva! the knowledge of Paramâtman rises in the heart, as the darkness of the night vanishes by the rising of the Sun.

Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam
