Āścarya-kathana: Brāhmaṇa–Nāga Dialogue on Sūrya (Vivasvat) and the ‘Second Sun’ Phenomenon
ततो<थ वरदो देवो ब्रह्मा लोकपितामह: । असृजत् स ततो लोकान् कृत्स्नान् स्थावरजजड्भमान्
tato 'tha varado devo brahmā lokapitāmahaḥ | asṛjat sa tato lokān kṛtsnān sthāvarajaṅgamān ||
ثم إنّ براهما، الإله واهب العطايا—جدّ العوالم ومُنشِئها—شرع في الخلق. فمنه انبثقت العوالم والكائنات على تمامها، ساكنها ومتحرّكها، فاستقام بذلك ميدانٌ منظَّمٌ تعمل فيه الأحياء، وتحصد النتائج، وتسلك سبيل الدَّرما.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse frames creation as an ordered manifestation brought forth by Brahmā, implying a structured cosmos in which beings—immobile and mobile—have their proper place and can pursue dharma within a divinely established order.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that after the preceding event, Brahmā—described as the boon-giving grandsire of the worlds—creates the totality of realms and beings, encompassing both stationary and moving life.
