Things started happening from that nothingness.

व्यक्ताव्यक्तमिदं न किञ्चिदभवत् प्राक् प्राकृतप्रक्षये
मायायां गुणसाम्यरुद्धविकृतौ त्वय्यागतायां लयं।
नो मृत्युश्च तदामृतं च समभून्नाहो न रात्रेः स्थितिः
तत्रैक्स्त्वमशिष्यथाः किलपरानन्दप्रकाशात्मना॥१

The fifth dashakam of Naraayaniiyam starts to describe the saga of genesis of living beings in the universe as per the Indian concept.  The great poet bhattatiri has drawn inspiration from Srimad Bhagavatam and from Upanishads and Aaranyakas to recount in detail the process of creation... the story will unravel in the stanzas to come.
"In the ancient time of deluge, the divine Maaya or illusion was rendered functionless because the three qualities of all beings..sattwa, rajas and tamas were present in equal quantities in everything and that Maaya simply dissolved in You Guruvayurappa, and with that the  universe in macro (sthoola) or micro (sookshma) forms  became absent or irrelevant.  In that period there was no death, and was there no emancipation..There was no day, nor any night.. In that period you were the  one and alone and in supreme bliss on yourself you remained as the embodiment of effulgent light and sat chit aananda."

A situation similar to this can be found in the Naasadiiya Sooktham of Rig Veda,
