Brahmā’s Puṣkara Sacrifice and the Manifestation of Sarasvatī
with Tīrtha-Merit Teachings
मैत्रभावस्थिता यूयमस्मत्कार्ये च नित्यशः । दानवा ऊचुः । सर्वमेतत्करिष्यामः शासनं ते पितामह
maitrabhāvasthitā yūyamasmatkārye ca nityaśaḥ | dānavā ūcuḥ | sarvametatkariṣyāmaḥ śāsanaṃ te pitāmaha
ನೀವು ಮಿತ್ರಭಾವದಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಥಿತರಾಗಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಕಾರ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನಿತ್ಯವೂ ನಿರತರಾಗಿರಿ. ದಾನವರು ಹೇಳಿದರು—“ಪಿತಾಮಹನೇ, ನಿಮ್ಮ ಆಜ್ಞೆಯಂತೆ ನಾವು ಇದನ್ನೆಲ್ಲ ಮಾಡುತ್ತೇವೆ।”

Sandhi Resolution Notes: मैत्रभावस्थिता = मैत्रभावे स्थिताः. यूयमस्मत्कार्ये = यूयम् + अस्मत्कार्ये. सर्वमेतत्करिष्यामः = सर्वम् + एतत् + करिष्यामः.
“Pitāmaha” (“Grandfather”) is a common epithet for Brahmā, regarded as the progenitor of beings and thus a ‘grandfather’ figure in Purāṇic cosmology.
The verse highlights disciplined cooperation and accountability—accepting a higher directive and committing to carry it out fully.
In context and tone, it primarily reflects obedience to cosmic order (ājñā/śāsana) and duty within creation narratives, rather than explicit devotional (bhakti) instruction.
