ततः प्रोवाच भगवान्ब्रह्मा लोकपितामहः । एतत्पापं महाघोरं ब्रह्महत्यासमुद्भवम्
tataḥ provāca bhagavānbrahmā lokapitāmahaḥ | etatpāpaṃ mahāghoraṃ brahmahatyāsamudbhavam
Darauf sprach der erhabene Brahmā, der Großvater der Welten: „Diese Sünde ist überaus schrecklich, aus der brahmahatyā hervorgegangen.“
Brahmā
Listener: Yudhiṣṭhira
Scene: Brahmā, the lotus-born grandsire, rises in the assembly and declares the dread nature of the sin—born of brahmahatyā.
Brahmahatyā is treated as a mahāpātaka; its resolution must be handled with cosmic seriousness and proper apportionment.
Not a site-specific praise; it is doctrinal narration within the Revā Khaṇḍa.
None yet; Brahmā is about to outline the method of dealing with the sin.
