Shloka 35
सत्य–अनृत, प्रकाश–तमस्, स्वर्ग–नरक विवेचनम्
Truth and Untruth as Light and Darkness; Svarga and Naraka as Ethical Consequences
ततः पुष्करत: सृष्ट: सर्वज्ञो मूर्तिमान् प्रभु: ब्रह्मा धर्ममय: पूर्व: प्रजापतिरनुत्तम:
tataḥ puṣkarataḥ sṛṣṭaḥ sarvajño mūrtimān prabhuḥ | brahmā dharmamayaḥ pūrvaḥ prajāpatir anuttamaḥ ||
ثم من اللوتس خرج الربّ—العليم بكل شيء، المتجسّد—براهما، أوّل البراجابتي وأعلاهم، الذي طبيعته عينُ الدارما. ويؤكد المقطع أن منشأ الخلق قائم على نظام الاستقامة، وأن براهما ينهض بوصفه الحامل الأوّل للدارما منذ البدء.
भरद्वाज उवाच
Educational Q&A
Creation is presented as arising from and being governed by dharma: Brahmā, the primordial progenitor, is described as dharmamaya—embodying righteous order—implying that ethical and cosmic order are foundational to the world’s origin and governance.
Bharadvāja describes the manifestation of Brahmā: from the lotus (puṣkara) emerges the omniscient, embodied Lord Brahmā, identified as the first and unsurpassed Prajāpati, establishing the beginning of progeny and ordered creation.
