अध्याय ३५१ — उञ्छवृत्ति-व्रतसिद्धेः मानुषस्य परमगतिः
Sūrya–Nāga Dialogue on the Perfected Gleaner-Ascetic
“तुम संसारकी सृष्टिरूप अभीष्ट कार्यकी सिद्धिके लिये ब्रह्माजीके भीतर प्रवेश करो।' ईश्वरका यह आदेश पाकर बुद्धि शीघ्र ही ब्रह्माजीमें प्रवेश कर गयी ।।

“Demi terlaksananya tugas yang dikehendaki—yakni penciptaan dalam putaran samsara—masuklah ke dalam Brahmā.” Menerima titah itu, Buddhi segera memasuki Brahmā. Setelah Brahmā beroleh kecerdasan tentang penciptaan, Hari, Penguasa jagat, memandangnya kembali dengan kasih dan bersabda lagi: “Kini ciptakanlah beraneka ragam makhluk.”

Educational Q&A
Creation and governance of the world proceed through divinely instituted order: the Lord empowers Brahmā by installing buddhi (discerning intelligence), and then commands the generation of diverse beings. Ethically, it implies that right action (kārya-siddhi) requires proper inner faculty—clarity and intelligence aligned with higher injunction.
The Lord instructs personified Intelligence (buddhi) to enter Brahmā so that Brahmā may be capable of creation. Once Brahmā is united with this creative discernment, Hari looks upon him again and directs him to create the various classes of living beings.
