इत्युक्तः स्वात्मभूर्देवः सुरैर्दैत्यविचेष्टितम् । सुरानुवाच भगवानतः संचिंत्य तत्त्वतः
ityuktaḥ svātmabhūrdevaḥ surairdaityaviceṣṭitam | surānuvāca bhagavānataḥ saṃciṃtya tattvataḥ
ദേവന്മാർ ദൈത്യരുടെ അതിക്രമങ്ങൾ അറിയിച്ചു; അപ്പോൾ സ്വയംഭൂ ഭഗവാൻ ബ്രഹ്മദേവൻ തത്ത്വം യഥാർത്ഥമായി ആലോചിച്ച് ദേവന്മാരോട് അരുളിച്ചെയ്തു।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa), narrating (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa style)
Scene: Brahmā, serene and four-faced, listens as Devas report demonic outrages; he closes his eyes briefly in contemplation, then prepares to speak with measured authority.
Right action begins with tattva-vicāra—clear discernment—before counsel and intervention.
No tīrtha is named; this is a narrative pivot to Brahmā’s response.
None.
