सृष्ट्वा मनुष्याञ् स विभुरुत्ससर्ज तनुं ततः ।
ज्योत्स्ना समभवत् सा च नक्तान्तेऽहर्मुखे च या ॥
sṛṣṭvā manuṣyān sa vibhur utsasarja tanuṃ tataḥ / jyotsnā samabhavat sā ca naktānte 'harmukhe ca yā
ಮಾನವರನ್ನು ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿದ ಆ ಸರ್ವವ್ಯಾಪಿ ಪ್ರಭು ನಂತರ ಒಂದು ದೇಹವನ್ನು ತ್ಯಜಿಸಿದನು. ಆ ದೇಹದಿಂದ ಜ್ಯೋತ್ಸ್ನಾ (ಚಂದ್ರಪ್ರಕಾಶ) ಉದ್ಭವಿಸಿತು; ಅದು ರಾತ್ರಿಯ ಅಂತ್ಯದಲ್ಲೂ ದಿನದ ಆರಂಭದಲ್ಲೂ ಪ್ರಕಾಶಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.

FAQs
Temporal order (night’s end, day’s beginning) is presented as a structured emanation from the Creator—suggesting that time, rhythm, and auspicious transitions (like dawn) are not accidental but woven into dharmic cosmology.
Primarily Sarga (primary creation): the generation of cosmic principles/phenomena such as jyotsnā and the ordering of day-night transitions.
Jyotsnā symbolically mediates between opposites (night/day), hinting at a sattvic ‘bridge’ state—an image for liminality where clarity arises as tamas recedes.
