Adhyaya 47 — Brahma’s Awakening and the Ninefold Scheme of Creation
अविद्या पञ्चपर्वैषा प्रादुर्भूता महात्मनः ।
पञ्चधावस्थितः सर्गो ध्यायतोऽप्रतिबोधवान् ॥
avidyā pañcaparvaiṣā prādurbhūtā mahātmanaḥ /
pañcadhāvasthitaḥ sargo dhyāyato 'pratibodhavān
ਪੰਜ ‘ਗ੍ਰੰਥੀਆਂ’ (ਵਿਭਾਗਾਂ) ਵਾਲੀ ਇਹ ਅਵਿਦਿਆ ਉਸ ਮਹਾਸੱਤਾ ਤੋਂ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਹੋਈ; ਅਤੇ ਜਦੋਂ ਉਹ ਹਾਲੇ ਅਪ੍ਰਬੁੱਧ ਹੀ ਸ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਟੀ ਦਾ ਚਿੰਤਨ ਕਰਨ ਲੱਗਾ, ਤਦ ਸ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਟੀ ਪੰਜ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਪ੍ਰਤਿਸ਼ਠਿਤ ਹੋ ਗਈ।

FAQs
Mere ‘thinking’ or mental activity is not identical with awakening: without true bodha, creation proceeds under the governance of avidyā; ethically, one should seek right knowledge, not only ritual or conceptualization.
Sarga: it describes the structuring principles (fivefold avidyā/creation) that condition the emergence of beings.
‘Five knots’ suggests binding points where consciousness identifies with limitation; the fivefold pattern hints at systematic veiling that later expresses as categories of beings and their instincts.
