Lelihyase grasamānah samantāl lokān samagrān vadanair jvaladbbhih, tejobhir āpūrya jagat samagraṁ bhāsas tavograḥ pratapanti vishṇo

You lick Your lips and are devouring all the worlds on every side with Your blazing mouths. O Vishnu, filling the entire universe with Your radiance, Your fierce rays are scorching everything.

  • God is the great devourer at the end of time
  • Divine radiance both sustains and consumes
  • The ferocity of cosmic dissolution is beyond imagination
