Secondary Creation Begins: Brahmā’s Productions, the Guṇas, and the Emergence of Orders of Beings
एवमुग्रश्रवा: पृष्ट ऋषिभिर्नैमिषायनै: । भगवत्यर्पिताध्यात्मस्तानाह श्रूयतामिति ॥ ७ ॥
evam ugraśravāḥ pṛṣṭa ṛṣibhir naimiṣāyanaiḥ bhagavaty arpitādhyātmas tān āha śrūyatām iti
ពេលដែលព្រះឥសីធំៗនៅ នៃមិષារណ្យ សួរដូច្នេះ អុគ្រស្រវា សូតៈ គោស្វាមី កូនរបស់ រោមហರ್ಷណៈ ដែលចិត្តបានអર્કបិតនៅក្នុងលីឡាអលೌកិករបស់ព្រះភគវាន បាននិយាយថា៖ សូមស្តាប់អ្វីដែលខ្ញុំនឹងនិយាយឥឡូវនេះ។
This verse shows the proper mood of Bhagavata hearing: realized, Lord-dedicated speakers invite sincere listeners—“Please hear”—highlighting śravaṇam as a primary doorway to bhakti.
Because the sages at Naimiṣāraṇya had respectfully questioned him, and as a surrendered narrator he begins the response by calling them to attentive hearing of Bhagavata-kathā.
Seek authentic devotional teachings, ask sincere questions, and practice focused listening—regularly hearing sacred narratives with attention and humility.
