Udipi Krishna 

Etad yonini bhutani sarvani iti upadharaya I

Aham krtnasya jagatah prabhavah pralayah tatha II sloka 6

एतद् योनिनी भूतानि सर्वाणि इति उपधारय ।
अहं क्र्त्नस्य जगतः प्रभवः प्रलयः तथा ।। श्लोक ६

Know that these two are the womb of all beings. I am the origin and dissolution of the whole universe.

Life has its origin in the conjugation of the sentient and the insentient. The body bereft of life becomes a corpse; life without the instrument of the body becomes ineffective. The act of living  ensues from the union of the sentient and the insentient, the kshetrayagna  & the kshetra. The co-mingling of these two prakritis - the consciuos principle and the unconscious matter - is evident all over the universe. The cloud has its origin and sustenance in the Akasa, and ultimately dissolves itself in the Akasa. Likewise, Iswara is the source, support and destiny of His prakritis , high and low.
