Lord Brahmā.
After experiencing the inhabitable time of the three modes of material nature, known as two parārdhas, Lord Brahmā closes the material universe, which is covered by layers of earth, water, air, fire, ether, mind, ego, etc., and goes back to Godhead.

The word avyākṛtam is very significant in this verse. The same meaning is stated in Bhagavad-gītā, in the word sanātana. This material world is vyākṛta, or subject to changes, and it finally dissolves. But after the dissolution of this material world, the manifestation of the spiritual world, the sanātana-dhāma, remains. That spiritual sky is called avyākṛta, that which does not change, and there the Supreme Personality of Godhead resides. When, after ruling over the material universe under the influence of the time element, Lord Brahmā desires to dissolve it and enter into the kingdom of God, others then enter with him.

Translation
Desiring to give up his body covered by earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, senses, sense objects and ahaṅkāra, knowing the length of his life, Brahmā, composed of three guṇas, enters into Mahāviṣṇu. At the time of great dissolution, Brahmā becomes liberated. He desires to give up his body of Vairāja, surrounded by the elements starting with earth. He, composed of the three guṇas, but predominated by rajoguṇa, enters the Supreme Lord, the antaryāmī of prakṛti (Mahāviṣṇu), knowing the time of two parārdhas (parākhyam).
