Shloka 2
Śārṅgaka-stuti to Agni during the Khāṇḍava Conflagration (शार्ङ्गक-स्तुतिः / अग्नि-स्तुतिः)
तच्च सर्व यथान्यायं ब्रह्मुणे संन्यवेदयत् । उवाच चैनं भगवान् मुहूर्त स विचिन्त्य तु,वहाँ उन्होंने ब्रह्माजीसे सब बातें यथोचित रीतिसे कह सुनायीं। तब भगवान् ब्रह्माजी दो घड़ीतक विचार करके उनसे बोले--
tac ca sarvaṃ yathānyāyaṃ brahmaṇe saṃnyavedayat | uvāca cainaṃ bhagavān muhūrtaṃ sa vicintya tu ||
He reported everything to Brahmā in the proper and fitting manner. Then the Blessed Lord Brahmā, after reflecting for a while, addressed him—signaling that the matter required careful judgment before a response could be given.

The verse highlights yathā-nyāya—communicating and acting in a manner consistent with propriety and justice—and shows that even a divine authority responds after thoughtful deliberation rather than impulsively.
A narrator reports that the concerned party conveys all details to Brahmā appropriately; Brahmā pauses to reflect for a time and then begins to reply, indicating a transition from report to considered counsel.
