वयं च भगवन् सर्वे जगच्च सचराचरम् | तवैव प्रसवा: सर्वे तस्मादग्निर्विभावसु:
vayaṃ ca bhagavan sarve jagac ca sacarācaram | tavaiva prasavāḥ sarve tasmād agnir vibhāvasuḥ ||
ວະສິດຖະກ່າວວ່າ: “ໂອ ພຣະຜູ້ມີພຣະພອນ, ພວກເຮົາທັງປວງ—ແລະທັງສາກົນຈັກກະວານ ທັງສິ່ງທີ່ເຄື່ອນໄຫວ ແລະບໍ່ເຄື່ອນໄຫວ—ລ້ວນເກີດຈາກພຣະອົງແຕ່ຜູ້ດຽວ. ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ອັກນິ ໄຟອັນສະຫວ່າງໄສ (Vibhāvasu) ກໍເປັນລູກຫຼານຂອງພຣະອົງເຊັ່ນກັນ.”

Educational Q&A
All beings and the entire cosmos—animate and inanimate—are presented as emanating from the Supreme Lord; even Agni (Fire), a major Vedic deity, is affirmed as deriving from that one source, emphasizing divine sovereignty and the unity of creation.
Vasiṣṭha addresses a revered Lord and, in a tone of theological affirmation, declares that the whole world is the Lord’s progeny; he then specifically cites Agni (Vibhāvasu) as an example, reinforcing the Lord’s status as the ultimate origin.
