na cyavante hi yad-bhaktāḥ mahatyāṁ pralayāpadi
na cyavante hi yad-bhaktāḥ mahatyāṁ pralayāpadi |
ato’cyuto’khile loke sa ekaḥ sarvago’vyayaḥ ||
(Skanda Purāṇa; cited in the Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā on Brahma-saṁhitā: 5.33)
“He the all-pervading, immutable Supreme Entity throughout all planes whose bhaktas are not certainly vanquished [even] during the severe tribulation of universal dissolution (pralaya) is thus [known as] Acyuta [i.e., ‘the Imperishable One’].”
