Nāgendra–Brāhmaṇa Saṃvāda: Praśna-vidhi and Dharmic Approach on the Gomatī Riverbank
इदं च सप्तमं जन्म पद्मजन्मेति वै प्रभो । सर्गे सर्गे हाहं पुत्रस्तव त्रिगुणवर्जित
idaṃ ca saptamaṃ janma padmajanmeti vai prabho | sarge sarge ha ahaṃ putras tava triguṇavarjita prabho ||
Dijo Vaiśaṃpāyana: “Oh Señor, este es mi séptimo nacimiento, conocido como el ‘nacimiento del loto’. Oh Supremo, más allá de las tres guṇas, en cada ciclo de la creación me manifiesto como tu hijo.”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the Lord’s transcendence beyond the three guṇas and frames repeated births across cosmic cycles as purposeful manifestations within a divine relationship (here, as ‘son’), emphasizing continuity of dharmic transmission across creations.
Vaiśaṃpāyana speaks to the Lord, identifying the present incarnation as his seventh birth—called the ‘lotus-born’ birth—and states that in every creation-cycle he appears again as the Lord’s son.
