This is what we call in the Esoteric Doctrine a “ Solar Pralaya ” . . . When the waters have reached the region of the Seven Rishis, and the world (our Solar System) is one ocean, they stop. The breath of Vishnu becomes a strong wind, which blows for another hundred (divine) years until all clouds are dispersed. The wind is then reabsorbed : and “ That, of which all things are made, the Lord by whom all things exist, He who is inconceivable, without beginning, the beginning of the universe, reposes, sleeping upon Sesha (the Serpent of Infinity) in the midst of the deep. The ''Adikrit''

The “ Sephiroth of Construction ” are the six Dhyan Chohans, or Manus, or Prajâpati, synthesized by the seventh “ B’raisheeth (the First Emanation or ''Logos''), and who are called, therefore, the Builders of the Lower or physical Universe ” all belong Below. These ''six'' [[File:Sd-6 ray star with numbers and dot.jpg|x40px]] whose essence is ''of the Seventh'' — are the ''Upadhi'', the base or fundamental stone on which the objective Universe is built, the ''noumenoi'' of all things. Hence they are, at the same time, the Forces of nature, the Seven Angels of the Presence, the sixth and seventh principles in man ; the spirito-psycho-physical spheres of the Septenary chain, the Root Races, etc., etc. They all “ depend upon the Seven forms of the Cranium ” up to the highest. The “ ''second ''Earth ” “ does not come into calculation ” because it is ''no Earth'', but the Chaos or Abyss of Space in which rested the paradogmatic, or model universe in ideation of the over-soul brooding over it. The term “ Curse ” is here very misleading, for it means simply ''doom ''or ''destiny'', or ''that fatality which sent it forth ''into the objective state. This is shown by that “ Earth ” under the “ Curse ” being described as “ without form and void,” in whose abysmal depths the “ Breath ” of the Elohim (collective Logoi) produced or photographed the first divine Ideation ''of the things to be. ''This process is repeated after every ''Pralaya ''before the beginnings of a new Manvantara, or period of sentient individual being. “ Thirteen depend on thirteen forms,” refers to the thirteen periods personified by the thirteen Manus, with Swayambhûva the fourteenth (13, instead of 14, being an additional ''veil'') : those fourteen Manus who reign within the term of a Mahayuga, a “ Day ” of Brahmâ. These (thirteen-fourteen) of the objective Universe depend on the thirteen (fourteen) ''paradigmatic'', ''ideal ''forms. The meaning of the “ Six thousand ''years ”'' which “ hang in the first six words,” has again to be sought in the Indian Wisdom. They refer to the primordial six (seven) “ Kings of Edom ” who typify the worlds (or spheres) of our chain during the first Round, as well as the primordial men of this Round. They are the septenary ''pre-Adamic ''(or before the Third, ''Separated ''Race) first Root-race. As they were ''shadows'', and senseless (they had not eaten yet of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge), they could not see the
