विष्णुना वारितो ब्रह्मा न ते वादस्तु युज्यते । तत्त्वं नाहं यदा नेदं ब्रह्मांडं सचराचरम्
viṣṇunā vārito brahmā na te vādastu yujyate | tattvaṃ nāhaṃ yadā nedaṃ brahmāṃḍaṃ sacarācaram
Von Viṣṇu zurückgehalten, wurde Brahmā ermahnt: „Dieser Streit ziemt dir nicht. Denn in Wahrheit: Als dieses All—dieses brahmāṇḍa mit allem Bewegten und Unbewegten—noch nicht bestand, war auch ich nicht als ein getrenntes Selbst…“
Sārasvata (narrator); direct speech attributed to Viṣṇu (contextual)
Tirtha: Kailāsa (as upadeśa-sthala within narrative)
Type: peak
Scene: Viṣṇu stands between Brahmā and Rudra, one hand raised in pacifying gesture (abhaya/śamana), the other indicating the cosmic egg as a teaching symbol; Brahmā lowers his gaze; Rudra’s fury subsides into stillness; devas exhale in relief.
Ego-based rivalry is unfitting; true wisdom recalls the pre-cosmic reality in which personal claims have no ground.
Not directly; the verse supports the moral-theological frame of the Vastrāpatha-kṣetra māhātmya.
None.
