Adhyaya 48 — The Emanation of Beings from Brahma: Night, Day, Twilight, and the Orders of Creation
सृष्ट्वा पितॄन् उत्ससर्ज तनुं तामपि स प्रभुः ।
सा चोत्सृष्टाभवत् सन्ध्या दिवानक्तान्तरस्थिताः ॥
sṛṣṭvā pitṝn utsasarja tanuṃ tām api sa prabhuḥ |
sā cotsṛṣṭābhavat sandhyā divā-naktāntara-sthitā ||
পিতৃগণ সৃষ্টি করে সেই প্রভু সেই দেহটিও ত্যাগ করলেন। তা মুক্ত হলে ‘সায়ংসন্ধ্যা’ প্রকাশ পেল, যা দিন ও রাত্রির মধ্যবর্তী।

Liminal times (sandhyā) are cosmically significant; this underwrites the dharmic emphasis on sandhyā-vandana and disciplined transitions in daily life.
Sarga: establishment of temporal structures that later become ritual anchors.
Sandhyā symbolizes the threshold state—neither fully sattvic day nor tamasic night—where transformation is easiest; hence it is ritually charged.
