Āścarya-kathana: Brāhmaṇa–Nāga Dialogue on Sūrya (Vivasvat) and the ‘Second Sun’ Phenomenon

जगत्स्रष्टमना देवो हरिनारायण: स्वयम्‌ | चिन्तयामास पुरुष॑ जगत्सर्गकरं प्रभुम्‌

jagat-sraṣṭa-manā devo hari-nārāyaṇaḥ svayam | cintayāmāsa puruṣaṁ jagat-sarga-karaṁ prabhum, sākṣāt bhagavān nārāyaṇaḥ |

قال فايشامبايانا: إن الإله هاري–نارايانا نفسه، وقد عزم على خلق العالم، تأمّل «شخصًا أسمى»—بوروشا، ربًّا كامل القدرة يستطيع أن يُحدث انبثاق الكون مباشرة. ويُصوِّر هذا المقطع الخلق لا على أنه مصادفة، بل فعلٌ مقصودٌ سياديّ، قائمٌ على الإرادة الإلهية والكفاية التامة.

Educational Q&A

Creation is presented as a purposeful, conscious act: Nārāyaṇa, as supreme Lord, wills and conceives the agency of cosmic creation, emphasizing divine sovereignty and intentional order rather than randomness.

Vaiśampāyana narrates that Hari-Nārāyaṇa, desiring to create the universe, turns His mind toward (contemplates) a supreme Puruṣa—an empowered Lord capable of bringing forth the world’s creation.
