śrīparāśara uvāca
sarveṣāmeva bhūtānāṃ trividhaḥ pratisaṃcaraḥ /
naimittikaḥ prākṛtikaḥ tathaivātyantiko layaḥ //
THE dissolution of existing beings is of three kinds, incidental, elemental, and absolute. The incidental is that which relates to Brahmá, and occurs at the end of a Kalpa: the elemental is that which takes place after two Parárddhas: the absolute is final liberation from existence.
