व्यास उवाच । न पश्यंति तदा शीर्षं ब्रह्माद्यास्तु सुरास्तदा । किं कुर्म इति हेत्युक्त्वा ज्ञानिनस्ते व्यचिन्तयन्
vyāsa uvāca | na paśyaṃti tadā śīrṣaṃ brahmādyāstu surāstadā | kiṃ kurma iti hetyuktvā jñāninaste vyacintayan
Vyāsa dit : «Alors les dieux, à commencer par Brahmā, ne purent voir la tête. Disant : “Que ferons-nous ?”, ces sages se mirent à méditer».
Vyāsa
Scene: A celestial assembly: Brahmā and the devas gaze upward into a vast, luminous vertical presence whose ‘head’ cannot be seen; their faces show astonishment and concern as they confer.
