SB 3.8.14
sa padma-kosah sahasodatisthat
kalena karma-pratibodhanena
sva-rocisa tat salilam visalam
vidyotayann arka ivatma-yonih
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
Piercing through, this sum total form of the fruitive activity of the living entities took the shape of the bud of a lotus flower generated from the Personality of Visnu, and by His supreme will it illuminated everything, like the sun, and dried up the vast waters of devastation.
