विभजात्मानम् इत्य् उक्त्वा तं ब्रह्मान्तर्दधे ततः
vibhajātmānam ity uktvā taṃ brahmāntardadhe tataḥ
ក្រោយពេលមានព្រះបន្ទូលថា «ចែកខ្លួនឯង» ព្រះព្រហ្មាក៏អន្តរធានបាត់ពីទស្សនៈ ហាក់ដូចជាចូលលាក់ក្នុងខ្លួនឯង។
Sage Parāśara (narrating to Maitreya)
It signals the start of differentiation—creation proceeds by beings multiplying, separating, or manifesting variety under a divine directive.
He narrates creation as an ordered sequence: a command initiates manifestation, and Brahmā withdraws once the generative process is set to unfold.
Even when Brahmā acts as creator, the Purana’s larger theology treats such agency as operating within a higher sovereignty—creation unfolds according to supreme cosmic order associated with Vishnu.
