Shloka 15
ततस्तेजोमयं दिव्यं पद्म सृष्टं स्वयम्भुवा । तस्मात् पद्मात् समभवद् ब्रह्मा वेदमयो निधि:,उसके बाद उस स्वयम्भू मानसदेवने पहले एक तेजोमय दिव्य कमल उत्पन्न किया। उसी कमलसे वेदमय निधिरूप ब्रह्माजी प्रकट हुए
tatas tejomayaṃ divyaṃ padma sṛṣṭaṃ svayambhuvā | tasmāt padmāt samabhavad brahmā vedamayo nidhiḥ ||
അതിനുശേഷം സ്വയംഭൂ തേജോമയമായ ദിവ്യ പദ്മം സൃഷ്ടിച്ചു. ആ പദ്മത്തിൽ നിന്നുതന്നെ വേദമയ നിധിയായ ബ്രഹ്മാവ് പ്രത്യക്ഷനായി.

The verse presents creation as emerging from divine radiance and culminating in Brahmā as the embodiment and repository of the Vedas, implying that the right ordering of the world (dharma) is grounded in sacred knowledge and luminous purity, not in force alone.
Bhīṣma describes an early stage of cosmic origination: the Self-born Lord first creates a radiant divine lotus, and from that lotus Brahmā manifests, characterized as ‘Veda-made’—a treasury of Vedic wisdom—who will function as the creator within the cosmic process.
