प्रधानॆ क्षोभ्यमाणे तु स देवो ब्रह्मसंज्ञितः ।
समुत्पन्नोऽण्डकोषस्थो यथा ते कथितं मया ॥
pradhāne kṣobhyamāṇe tu sa devo brahma-saṃjñitaḥ |
samutpanno 'ṇḍa-koṣastho yathā te kathitaṃ mayā ||
പ്രധാനം (പ്രകൃതി) ക്ഷോഭിക്കപ്പെടുമ്പോൾ ബ്രഹ്മാ എന്ന ദേവൻ ഉദ്ഭവിച്ചു; അദ്ദേഹം ബ്രഹ്മാണ്ഡമുട്ടയുടെ കവചത്തിനുള്ളിൽ വസിച്ചു—ഞാൻ നിന്നോട് പറഞ്ഞതുപോലെ.

FAQs
The first manifest organizer (Brahmā) appears only after primordial equilibrium is stirred—implying that structured order emerges from subtle causality. It encourages seeing governance and creativity as derivative, not ultimate.
This is Sarga proper: the arising of Brahmā and the aṇḍa (cosmic egg) is a standard Purāṇic creation marker, foundational for subsequent genealogies (vaṃśa) and reigns (manvantara).
The ‘cosmic egg’ symbolizes undivided totality containing all differentiations in seed form; Brahmā within it represents ordering intelligence arising inside the field of nature, not outside it.
