अध्याय ३५१ — उञ्छवृत्ति-व्रतसिद्धेः मानुषस्य परमगतिः
Sūrya–Nāga Dialogue on the Perfected Gleaner-Ascetic
बाढमित्येव कृत्वासौ यथा55ज्ञां शिरसा हरे: । एवमुक्त्वा स भगवांस्तत्रैवान्तरधीयत,“तब “बहुत अच्छा” कहकर उन्होंने श्रीहरिकी आज्ञा शिरोधार्य की। इस प्रकार उन्हें सृष्टिका आदेश देकर भगवान् वहीं अन्तर्धान हो गये
bāḍham ity eva kṛtvāsau yathājñāṃ śirasā hareḥ | evam uktvā sa bhagavāṃs tatraivāntaradhīyata ||
Mit den Worten: „So sei es“ nahm er Haris Gebot mit geneigtem Haupt an. Nachdem er so gesprochen und ihm die Ordnung der Schöpfung anvertraut hatte, entschwand der selige Herr an eben diesem Ort—ein Zeichen dafür, dass göttliche Weisung in Demut zu empfangen und als heilige Pflicht zu vollziehen ist.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights śraddhā and vinaya: divine instruction (ājñā) is to be received with reverence (śirasā) and carried out as dharma. The Lord’s disappearance underscores that responsibility now rests on the recipient to uphold cosmic order through faithful action.
After being instructed by Hari regarding the ordinance of creation (or the task to be undertaken), the recipient responds “bāḍham” (“certainly/so be it”) and accepts the command with bowed head. Having delivered the directive, the Blessed Lord vanishes on the spot.
