This is the first shloka, or whatever, of Spanda-kaarikaa (from memory): yasyonmeSanimeSaabhyaaM jagataH pralayodayau taM shakticakravibhavaprabhavaM shankaraM stumaH |
Does the first line mean, that when Shankara (Shiva?) opens His Eyes (unmeSa) the Material(?) Universe is annihilated (pralaya),and when He closes His eyes (nimeSa) it is "created" again (udaya)?
