Ahaṃkāra as the Second Creation: Brahmā’s Cosmological Instruction (अहंकार-प्राधान्येन सृष्टिवर्णनम्)
यह श्रोत्रादि इन्द्रियरूप देवोंका और मनका उत्पत्ति-स्थान एवं स्वयं भी देवस्वरूप है, इसलिये इसे त्रिलोकीका कर्त्ता माना गया है। यह सम्पूर्ण जगत् अहंकारस्वरूप है, इसलिये यह अभिमन्ता कहा जाता है ।।
adhyātmajñānatṛptānāṁ munīnāṁ bhāvitātmanām | svādhyāyakratusiddhānām eṣa lokaḥ sanātanaḥ ||
ព្រះវាយុមានព្រះបន្ទូលថា៖ សម្រាប់មុនីទាំងឡាយដែលពេញចិត្តដោយចំណេះដឹងខាងអធ្យាត្មា ដែលបានបណ្តុះបណ្តាលខ្លួន និងសមាធិលើអាត្មា ហើយបានសម្រេចភាពពេញលេញតាមយញ្ញៈនៃស្វាធ្យាយ (ការសិក្សាព្រះវេដ) នេះហើយជាលោកសនាតនៈ—លោកអស់កល្ប—ដែលក្លាយជាគោលដៅរបស់ពួកគេ។

Educational Q&A
Inner fulfillment arises from adhyātma-jñāna (knowledge of the Self) and disciplined cultivation of the mind; when svādhyāya (sacred study) is treated as a true yajña, it becomes a means to perfection, culminating in attainment of the ‘eternal realm’—a state aligned with timeless dharma and liberation.
Vāyudeva is instructing the listener about the spiritual destiny of accomplished sages: those who are inwardly satisfied by Self-knowledge and perfected through the ‘sacrifice’ of svādhyāya are said to reach an eternal realm, emphasizing contemplative practice over external achievement.
