तत्र सुप्तं महात्मानं ब्रह्मलोकनिवासिनः । भृग्वादिऋषयः सर्वे ये चान्ये सनकादयः
tatra suptaṃ mahātmānaṃ brahmalokanivāsinaḥ | bhṛgvādiṛṣayaḥ sarve ye cānye sanakādayaḥ
Di sana Sang Mahātmā sedang terlelap; dan semua ṛṣi yang berdiam di Brahmaloka—Bhṛgu dan yang lain-lain—serta para suci lain seperti Sanaka bersama saudara-saudaranya, datang menyaksikan-Nya.
Deductive (Revākhaṇḍa narration; likely the narrator continuing the account)
Scene: A procession of luminous sages—Bhṛgu and others, and the four Kumāras—arrive from Brahmaloka, their ascetic radiance contrasting with the dark oceanic background; they stand in folded-hands contemplation before the sleeping Mahātman.
