Yoga-Sleep, Cosmic Dissolution, and the Lotus of Creation
with Mārkaṇḍeya’s Vision
न ह्येष च सदाचारो देवेष्वपि ममोचितः । मां ब्रह्मापि हि सस्नेहो दीर्घायुरिति भाषते
na hyeṣa ca sadācāro deveṣvapi mamocitaḥ | māṃ brahmāpi hi sasneho dīrghāyuriti bhāṣate
ಇದು ಸದಾಚಾರವಲ್ಲ; ದೇವತೆಗಳ ಮಧ್ಯೆಯೂ ನನಗೆ ಇದು ಯುಕ್ತವಲ್ಲ. ಬ್ರಹ್ಮನೂ ಸಹ ಸ्नेಹದಿಂದ ನನಗೆ—“ದೀರ್ಘಾಯುಷ್ಮಾನ್ ಭವ” ಎಂದು ಹೇಳುತ್ತಾನೆ।
Uncertain from single-verse context (speaker not explicitly named in the provided line).
Concept: Maryādā (proper conduct) in address and blessing is valued; yet the deeper lesson is that even revered beings rely on affectionate benedictions from higher authorities.
Application: Speak respectfully, especially to elders/teachers; offer blessings and goodwill—words shape relationships and inner purity.

FAQs
The verse stresses sadācāra (upright conduct) as a binding norm even in divine society, implying that status does not excuse unethical behavior.
It functions as a benevolent blessing—Brahmā addresses the person affectionately and wishes longevity, highlighting a compassionate tone even amid moral reflection.
From this single line, the emphasis is primarily ethical (sadācāra) rather than a distinct Vaishnava theological claim or a creation narrative detail.
