ब्रह्मादयः सुराः सर्वे वैकुण्ठं परया मुदा । मन्त्रणार्थं तदा ब्रह्मा विष्णवेऽमितते जसे
brahmādayaḥ surāḥ sarve vaikuṇṭhaṃ parayā mudā | mantraṇārthaṃ tadā brahmā viṣṇave'mitate jase
حينئذٍ مضى براهما وجميع الآلهة، وقد امتلأوا بفرحٍ أسمى، إلى فايكونثا. وهناك، لأجل المشورة، اقترب براهما من فيشنو ذي الجلال الذي لا يُقاس.
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narration; likely Vyāsa in this adhyāya frame)
Tirtha: Vaikuṇṭha
Type: kshetra
Scene: A radiant procession of Brahmā and the devas approaches Vaikuṇṭha; jeweled gateways, celestial attendants, and a luminous presence of Viṣṇu implied beyond the threshold; the mood is jubilant yet reverent, as a council is about to begin.
