Āścarya-kathana: Brāhmaṇa–Nāga Dialogue on Sūrya (Vivasvat) and the ‘Second Sun’ Phenomenon
जगत्स्रष्टमना देवो हरिनारायण: स्वयम् | चिन्तयामास पुरुष॑ जगत्सर्गकरं प्रभुम्
jagat-sraṣṭa-manā devo hari-nārāyaṇaḥ svayam | cintayāmāsa puruṣaṁ jagat-sarga-karaṁ prabhum, sākṣāt bhagavān nārāyaṇaḥ |
Vaiśampāyana dit : Le dieu Hari–Nārāyaṇa lui-même, résolu à créer le monde, contempla une Personne suprême — un Seigneur tout-puissant, capable de faire jaillir directement l’émanation du cosmos. Le passage présente la création non comme un hasard, mais comme un acte délibéré et souverain, fondé sur la volonté et la puissance divines.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Creation is presented as a purposeful, conscious act: Nārāyaṇa, as supreme Lord, wills and conceives the agency of cosmic creation, emphasizing divine sovereignty and intentional order rather than randomness.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Hari-Nārāyaṇa, desiring to create the universe, turns His mind toward (contemplates) a supreme Puruṣa—an empowered Lord capable of bringing forth the world’s creation.
