Yoga-Sleep, Cosmic Dissolution, and the Lotus of Creation
with Mārkaṇḍeya’s Vision
न ह्येष च सदाचारो देवेष्वपि ममोचितः । मां ब्रह्मापि हि सस्नेहो दीर्घायुरिति भाषते
na hyeṣa ca sadācāro deveṣvapi mamocitaḥ | māṃ brahmāpi hi sasneho dīrghāyuriti bhāṣate
ਇਹ ਤਾਂ ਸਦਾਚਾਰ ਨਹੀਂ, ਅਤੇ ਦੇਵਤਿਆਂ ਵਿਚ ਵੀ ਮੇਰੇ ਲਈ ਇਹ ਉਚਿਤ ਨਹੀਂ। ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ ਜੀ ਵੀ ਸਨੇਹ ਨਾਲ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ, ‘ਦੀਰਘਾਯੁ ਹੋਵੋ।’
Uncertain from single-verse context (speaker not explicitly named in the provided line).
Concept: Maryādā (proper conduct) in address and blessing is valued; yet the deeper lesson is that even revered beings rely on affectionate benedictions from higher authorities.
Application: Speak respectfully, especially to elders/teachers; offer blessings and goodwill—words shape relationships and inner purity.

FAQs
The verse stresses sadācāra (upright conduct) as a binding norm even in divine society, implying that status does not excuse unethical behavior.
It functions as a benevolent blessing—Brahmā addresses the person affectionately and wishes longevity, highlighting a compassionate tone even amid moral reflection.
From this single line, the emphasis is primarily ethical (sadācāra) rather than a distinct Vaishnava theological claim or a creation narrative detail.
