ब्रह्मोवाच । परिपृच्छत किं कार्यं कुतो यूयमिहागताः
brahmovāca | paripṛcchata kiṃ kāryaṃ kuto yūyamihāgatāḥ
બ્રહ્માએ કહ્યું—પૂછો; તમારું કાર્ય શું છે? અને તમે અહીં ક્યાંથી આવ્યા છો?
Brahmā
Tirtha: Arbuda-kṣetra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka-group (implied)
Scene: Brahmā, four-faced, seated on a lotus-seat or golden throne in a forest pavilion on Arbuda, gestures in inquiry toward the assembled saptaṛṣi.
Sacred discourse begins with clear inquiry; divine instruction is accessed through respectful questioning.
No tīrtha is named; the setting is Brahmaloka within the Arbuda-khaṇḍa narrative.
None; it initiates dialogue as a means to resolve dharmic concerns.
