Nāgendra–Brāhmaṇa Saṃvāda: Praśna-vidhi and Dharmic Approach on the Gomatī Riverbank
इदं च सप्तमं जन्म पद्मजन्मेति वै प्रभो । सर्गे सर्गे हाहं पुत्रस्तव त्रिगुणवर्जित
idaṃ ca saptamaṃ janma padmajanmeti vai prabho | sarge sarge ha ahaṃ putras tava triguṇavarjita prabho ||
Вайшампаяна сказал: «О Владыка, это моё седьмое рождение, именуемое “лотосорождением”. О Всевышний, превыше трёх гун, в каждом круге творения я являюсь как твой сын».

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the Lord’s transcendence beyond the three guṇas and frames repeated births across cosmic cycles as purposeful manifestations within a divine relationship (here, as ‘son’), emphasizing continuity of dharmic transmission across creations.
Vaiśaṃpāyana speaks to the Lord, identifying the present incarnation as his seventh birth—called the ‘lotus-born’ birth—and states that in every creation-cycle he appears again as the Lord’s son.
