Brahmacarya-Upāya: Jñāna, Śauca, and the Mind’s Role in Desire (शान्ति पर्व, अध्याय २०७)
प्रध्याय सो5सृजन्मेघांस्तथा स्थावरजड्मान् | पृथिवीं सो$सृजद् विश्वां सहितां भूरितेजसा
pradhyāya so 'sṛjan meghāṁs tathā sthāvara-jaṅgamān | pṛthivīṁ so 'sṛjad viśvāṁ sahitāṁ bhūri-tejasā ||
Dijo Bhīṣma: Por la resolución de su propia mente, él hizo surgir las nubes, los seres inmóviles y los móviles; y luego creó la tierra entera—con todos sus elementos—dotada de una abundante y majestuosa irradiación.

Educational Q&A
Creation is presented as a purposeful, orderly act arising from conscious resolve, implying an underlying unity and intelligible order behind the world’s diversity—an idea that supports dharma as alignment with that order.
Bhishma describes the origin of the world: the creator, through mental intention, produces clouds, all categories of living beings (immobile and mobile), and the complete earth endowed with great radiance.
