Shloka 3
Śuka’s Manifestation from the Araṇi (Āraṇeya-janma) — शुकजन्म (आरणेय-सम्भव)
ततो ब्रह्माणमसृजद्धिरण्याण्डसमुद््भवम् । सा मूर्ति: सर्वभूतानामित्येवमनुशुश्रुम
tato brahmāṇam asṛjad hiraṇyāṇḍa-samudbhavam | sā mūrtiḥ sarva-bhūtānām ity evam anuśuśruma ||
Alors le Suprême fit naître Brahmā, issu de l’œuf cosmique d’or (Hiraṇyāṇḍa). Ainsi l’avons-nous entendu : cette forme (Brahmā) devint la source et le sol d’origine de tous les êtres—marquant le déploiement ordonné de la création, après l’apparition des herbes qui soutiennent la vie.

Educational Q&A
Creation is presented as an ordered unfolding grounded in cosmic order: Brahmā, emerging from the golden egg, functions as the manifested source through whom the multiplicity of beings arises, and the statement is framed as received tradition (“we have heard”).
Yājñavalkya describes a stage of creation: after earlier creative acts (noted in the surrounding context as including the emergence of herbs), the Supreme brings forth Brahmā from the golden cosmic egg, identifying him as the origin-point for all beings.
