Adhyaya 47 — Brahma’s Awakening and the Ninefold Scheme of Creation
ते परिग्राहिणः सर्वे संविभागरता तथा ।
चोदनाश्चाप्यशीलाś्च ज्ञेया भूतादिकाश्च ते ॥
te parigrāhiṇaḥ sarve saṃvibhāgaratāstathā / codanāścāpyaśīlāśca jñeyā bhūtādikāśca te
彼らは皆、獲得に執着し、また分配(分かち与え)をも喜ぶ。衝動に駆り立てられ、一定の規律を持たない。彼らを bhūtādi 類に属するものと知れ。

The verse sketches a behavioral profile: grasping and redistribution exist together, but without discipline such impulses remain unstable. Ethically, it points to the need for śīla (regulated conduct) to elevate instinctive drives into dharmic action.
A continuation of Sarga description: it characterizes a class of created beings (bhūtādi) by their tendencies.
“Grasping” and “sharing” can represent prāṇa’s twin motions—appropriation and expenditure—while “impelled, unregulated” hints at guṇa-driven saṃskāras prior to refined sattvic governance.
