Ebenso erschien Viriñci (Brahmā), auf seinem eigenen Reittier sitzend—umgeben von den Veden mit ihren sechs Hilfslehren, ebenso von den Āgamas, den Itihāsas und den Purāṇas. Er, der Hema-garbha, der „Goldkeim“, stand von heiliger Offenbarung umschlossen.

Tirtha: Kedāra / Kedāranātha
Type: kshetra
Scene: Brahmā on his vehicle (traditionally the haṃsa), encircled by personified Vedas and Vedāṅgas as radiant scroll-bearing deities; nearby stand personified Āgamas, Itihāsas, and Purāṇas like a living library forming a luminous ring around Hiraṇyagarbha.
FAQs
True dharma is upheld by a continuum of revelation—Veda, Vedāṅga, Āgama, Itihāsa, and Purāṇa—harmonized in sacred narrative.

None; the verse is a doctrinal tableau of Brahmā and the bodies of sacred knowledge.
