Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.6.3-3.6.5 & 3.6.7
"Thus when the Personality of Godhead entered into the elements by His energy, all the living entities were enlivened into different activities, just as one is engaged in his work after awakening from sleep." "When the twenty-three principal elements were set in action by the will of the Supreme, the gigantic universal form, or the viśvarūpa body of the Lord, came into existence." "As the Lord, in His plenary portion, entered into the elements of the universal creation, they transformed into the gigantic form in which all the planetary systems and all movable and immovable creations rest." "The total energy of the mahat-tattva, in the form of the gigantic virāṭ-rūpa, divided Himself by Himself into the consciousness of the living entities, the life of activity, and self-identification, which are subdivided into one, ten and three respectively." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/6/3 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/6/4 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/6/5 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/6/7

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.10.10-12
"Vidura inquired from Maitreya: O my lord, O greatly learned sage, kindly describe eternal time, which is another form of the Supreme Lord, the wonderful actor. What are the symptoms of that eternal time? Please describe them to us in detail." "Maitreya said: Eternal time is the primeval source of the interactions of the three modes of material nature. It is unchangeable and limitless, and it works as the instrument of the Supreme Personality of Godhead for His pastimes in the material creation." "This cosmic manifestation is separated from the Supreme Lord as material energy by means of kāla, which is the unmanifested, impersonal feature of the Lord. It is situated as the objective manifestation of the Lord under the influence of the same material energy of Viṣṇu." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/10/10 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/10/11 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/10/12
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.10.13-15
"This cosmic manifestation is as it is now, it was the same in the past, and it will continue in the same way in the future." "There are nine different kinds of creations besides the one which naturally occurs due to the interactions of the modes. There are three kinds of annihilations due to eternal time, the material elements and the quality of one’s work." "Of the nine creations, the first one is the creation of the mahat-tattva, or the sum total of the material ingredients, wherein the modes interact due to the presence of the Supreme Lord. In the second, the false ego is generated, in which the material ingredients, material knowledge and material activities arise." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/10/13 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/10/14 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/10/15

"The material manifestation’s ultimate particle, which is indivisible and not formed into a body, is called the atom.

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.11.2
"Atoms are the ultimate state of the manifest universe. When they stay in their own forms without forming different bodies, they are called the unlimited oneness.

"O Vidura, the sun enlivens all living entities with his unlimited heat and light.

He thus moves in the firmament with great velocity, and therefore everyone should offer him respects once every five years with all ingredients of worship." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/11/15
