Nāgendra–Brāhmaṇa Saṃvāda: Praśna-vidhi and Dharmic Approach on the Gomatī Riverbank
जनमेजय उवाच यत्तद् दर्शितवान् ब्रह्मा देवं हयशिरोधरम्
janamejaya uvāca yattad darśitavān brahmā devaṃ hayaśirodharam
Janamejaya said: “That divine being with a horse’s head—whom Brahmā had pointed out (or revealed)—…”
जनमेजय उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames dharmic learning as beginning with humble inquiry: Janamejaya seeks clarification about a divine form revealed by Brahmā, implying that right understanding comes through asking and receiving authoritative instruction.
Janamejaya is speaking and referring back to an earlier revelation: Brahmā had shown or identified a divine being described as ‘horse-headed.’ The line functions as the opening of a question that will lead into further explanation.
