Nāgendra–Brāhmaṇa Saṃvāda: Praśna-vidhi and Dharmic Approach on the Gomatī Riverbank
पुनरुत्तस्थतु: शीघ्रं रसानामालयात् तदा । ददृशाते च पुरुषं तमेवादिकरं प्रभुम्
punar uttasthatuḥ śīghraṃ rasānām ālayāt tadā | dadṛśāte ca puruṣaṃ tam evādikaraṃ prabhum ||
Alors tous deux se relevèrent promptement de ce séjour des essences. À cet instant, ils virent la même Personne—le Faiseur primordial, le Seigneur souverain—debout devant eux. Le passage souligne que la vraie compréhension ne consiste pas seulement à goûter les « essences » du monde, mais à revenir contempler la Cause première, qui fonde et gouverne toute expérience.

The verse points beyond sensory or experiential ‘rasas’ to their source: after engaging with the realm of essences, one must rise and behold the primordial Lord (Puruṣa) as the first cause and true sovereign. Ethically, it supports detachment from enjoyment as an end in itself and reorientation toward the ultimate ground of reality.
Two figures (implied by the dual verbs) quickly rise from the ‘abode of rasas/essences’ and then see again the same supreme Person—described as the primal maker and lord—indicating a renewed encounter or recognition of the ultimate being after a prior experience or instruction.
