Śrī Sūta said: In the waters, at the end of a thousand Yugas, when the day of Brahmā comes to a close, when it is his night of the same duration within the waters, when within the waters the earth has lost all its fires; when it is darkness all round with not even a glimmer of light, when the wind has, subsided—the lord Brahmā by whom the portion of the world is presided over desired once again to make the division of this world.
