सा चोत्सृष्टा भवत्संध्या दिननक्तांतरा स्थितिः । रजोमात्रात्मिकामन्यां जगृहे स तनुं ततः
sā cotsṛṣṭā bhavatsaṃdhyā dinanaktāṃtarā sthitiḥ | rajomātrātmikāmanyāṃ jagṛhe sa tanuṃ tataḥ
പുറത്തുവിട്ട ആ സന്ധ്യ പകലും രാത്രിയും തമ്മിലുള്ള ഇടക്കാലമായി നിലകൊണ്ടു. തുടർന്ന് അവൻ രജോമാത്രസ്വരൂപമായ, പ്രവർത്തനോത്സാഹം നിറഞ്ഞ മറ്റൊരു ദേഹം ധരിച്ചു.

FAQs
Here saṃdhyā denotes twilight—the transitional junction (sandhi) that functions as the interval between day and night.
Rajas symbolizes dynamism, activity, and creative motion; the verse indicates that the agent of creation assumes a form predominated by rajas to proceed with further manifestation.
It highlights that transitions (like twilight) are sacred thresholds, and that action (rajas) has a proper place in cosmic order—meant to serve purposeful creation rather than restless distraction.
