ŚB 3.20.17 सोऽनुविष्टो भगवता य: शेते सलिलाशये । लोकसंस्थां यथापूर्वं निर्ममे संस्थया स्वया ॥ १७ ॥ so ’nuviṣṭo bhagavatā yaḥ śete salilāśaye loka-saṁsthāṁ yathā pūrvaṁ nirmame saṁsthayā svayā Synonyms saḥ — Lord Brahmā; anuviṣṭaḥ — was entered; bhagavatā — by the Lord; yaḥ — who; śete — sleeps; salila-āśaye — on the Garbhodaka Ocean; loka-saṁsthām — the universe; yathā pūrvam — as previously; nirmame — created; saṁsthayā — by intelligence; svayā — his own. Translation When that Supreme Personality of Godhead who is lying on the Garbhodaka Ocean entered the heart of Brahmā, Brahmā brought his intelligence to bear, and with the intelligence invoked he began to create the universe as it was before.
