Madhvaon Brahma Sūtra 1.2.9

For Aditi, the mother of the gods, cannot be said to be the devourer of all the animate and the inanimate world. The Skanda Purana says, Vasudeva, the highest Lord of all men (beings), is the sole author of creation, protection, and dissolution; other deities may ormay not be, in limited spheres (under them).” * That Hari, the glorious Lord, who alone was in the beginning of this (world), from whom this (world) came into existence who is the one-protector of the world, to whom the world returns during the deluge or on release, may accept the offering of clarified butter for the prolongation of our life ’ (Gbrita Sukta).
