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 ||
তারপর বরদাতা দেবতা, লোকপিতামহ ব্রহ্মা সৃষ্টিকর্মে প্রবৃত্ত হলেন। তাঁর থেকেই সমস্ত লোক ও সমস্ত প্রাণী—স্থাবর ও জঙ্গম—উৎপন্ন হল।

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.
