Adhyaya 47 — Brahma’s Awakening and the Ninefold Scheme of Creation
मुख्यः सर्गश्चतुर्थस्तु मुख्याः वै स्थावराः स्मृताः ।
तिर्यक्स्रोतस्तु यः प्रोक्तस्तिर्यग्योन्यः स पञ्चमः ॥
mukhyaḥ sargaścaturthastu mukhyā vai sthāvarāḥ smṛtāḥ / tiryakstrotastu yaḥ proktastiryagyonyaḥ sa pañcamaḥ
第四は「ムクヒヤ(mukhya)の創造」であり、不動のもの(sthāvara)がまことに第一のものとして記憶される。第五は「ティリヤク・スロータス(tiryak-srotas)」と呼ばれ、畜生の胎(tiryag-yoni)に生まれる者たちの創造である。

Life is graded and categorized, emphasizing continuity between plant, animal, and human existence. This supports an ethic of restraint and responsibility toward all life forms as part of one ordered creation.
Sarga: it transitions from prākṛta (principles) to vaikṛta (manifest life-forms), listing specific categories.
The ‘streams’ (srotas) imagery suggests directional tendencies of consciousness/instinct: immovables are ‘primary’ in stability; animals move ‘sideways’—symbolic of instinctual dispersion.
