Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 12 - Chapter 1 - Verse 6

Sanskrit:

एष प्राकृतिको राजन् प्रलयो यत्र लीयते ।अण्डकोषस्तु सङ्घातो विघाट उपसादिते ॥ ६ ॥

ITRANS:

eṣa prākṛtiko rājanpralayo yatra līyateaṇḍa-koṣas tu saṅghātovighāta upasādite

Translation:

O King, upon the annihilation of the material elements, the universal egg, comprising the elemental amalgamation of creation, is confronted with destruction.

Purport:

It is significant that Śukadeva Gosvāmī, the spiritual master of King Parīkṣit, is broadly discussing cosmic annihilation just before the death of his disciple. By attentively hearing the story of universal destruction, one can easily understand one’s personal departure from this temporary world to be an insignificant incident within the gigantic scope of the total material manifestation. By his deep and relevant discussions of the creation of God, Śukadeva Gosvāmī, as an ideal spiritual master, is preparing his disciple for the moment of death.
