All beings are born from this womb; hence, keep them close. I am the origin and dissolution of the entire world.
It is the womb of all being; for I am He by Whom the worlds were created and shall be dissolved.
Know that all beings have these two for the source of their birth. Therefore, I am the origin and the dissolution of the whole universe.
Understand thus that all things (sentient and insentient) have these as their source. I am the origin as also the end of the whole Universe.
Know that these two (My higher and lower Natures) are the womb of all beings. So, I am the source and dissolution of the whole universe.
