Kapila Introduced
प्रजा: सर्वा महाराज विप्रजग्मुर्यथागतम् । त्रिदशा विष्णुना सार्थमुपजग्मु: पितामहम्,महाराज! फिर सारी प्रजा जैसे आयी थी, वैसे ही लौट गयी। देवतालोग भगवान् विष्णुके साथ ब्रह्माजीके पास गये
prajāḥ sarvā mahārāja viprajagmur yathāgatam | tridaśā viṣṇunā sārtham upajagmuḥ pitāmaham ||
O König, das ganze Volk zog davon und kehrte zurück, wie es gekommen war. Die Götter aber begaben sich, von Herrn Viṣṇu begleitet, zu Pitāmaha Brahmā.

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores orderly conduct and the maintenance of dharma: the public disperses peacefully after the occasion, while higher authorities (the gods with Viṣṇu) seek guidance from Brahmā, suggesting that complex matters should be referred to the proper level of counsel rather than forced through disorder.
After an assembly or event concludes, the people return home. The devas, accompanied by Viṣṇu, proceed to Brahmā (Pitāmaha), indicating a shift from the human scene to a divine consultation.
