so ’śayiṣṭābdhi-salile
āṇḍakośo nirātmakaḥ
sāgraṁ vai varṣa-sāhasram
anvavātsīt tam īśvaraḥ

saḥ — it; aśayiṣṭa — lay; abdhi-salile — on the waters of the Causal Ocean; āṇḍa-kośaḥ — egg; nirātmakaḥ — in an unconscious state; sāgram — a little more than; vai — in fact; varṣa-sāhasram — a thousand years; anvavātsīt — became situated; tam — in the egg; īśvaraḥ — the Lord.

For over one thousand years the shiny egg lay on the waters of the Causal Ocean in the lifeless state. Then the Lord entered it as Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu.

From this verse it appears that all the universes are floating in the Causal Ocean.
