Srimad Bhagavatam · 6 · Verse 16
Sanskrit Original
त्वत्त: पुमान् समधिगम्य ययास्य वीर्यं धत्ते महान्तमिव गर्भममोघवीर्य: । सोऽयं तयानुगत आत्मन आण्डकोशं हैमं ससर्ज बहिरावरणैरुपेतम् ॥ १६ ॥
tvattaḥ pumān samadhigamya yayāsya vīryaṁ dhatte mahāntam iva garbham amogha-vīryaḥ so ’yaṁ tayānugata ātmana āṇḍa-kośaṁ haimaṁ sasarja bahir āvaraṇair upetam
My dear Lord, the original puruṣa-avatāra, Mahā-Viṣṇu, acquires His creative potency from You. Thus with infallible energy He impregnates material nature, producing the mahat-tattva. Then the mahat-tattva, the amalgamated material energy, endowed with the potency of the Lord, produces from itself the primeval golden egg of the universe, which is covered by various layers of material elements.
