TRANSLATION
"These universes are understood to be floating in the air that Mahā-Vishnu exhales. They are like atomic particles that float in sunshine and pass through the holes of a screen. All these universes are thus created by the exhalation of Mahā-Vishnu, and when Mahā-Vishnu inhales, they re-enter His body. The unlimited opulences of Mahā-Vishnu are completely beyond material conception.
