Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 03, Chapter 08, Text 14

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.
