Educational Q&A
Creation is presented as arising from and being governed by dharma: Brahmā, the primordial progenitor, is described as dharmamaya—embodying righteous order—implying that ethical and cosmic order are foundational to the world’s origin and governance.
Bharadvāja describes the manifestation of Brahmā: from the lotus (puṣkara) emerges the omniscient, embodied Lord Brahmā, identified as the first and unsurpassed Prajāpati, establishing the beginning of progeny and ordered creation.
