Ahiṃsā as the Superior Dharma: Practical and Scriptural Reasoning
ततस्तामब्रवीत् तत्र लोकानां प्रभवाप्यय: । किमिदं वर्तते पुत्रि क्रियतां मम तद् वच:,तब सम्पूर्ण लोकोंकी उत्पत्ति और प्रलयके कारणभूत ब्रह्माजी वहाँ उस कन्यासे बोले --<बेटी! तुम यह क्या करती हो? मेरी आज्ञाका पालन करो”
tatas tām abravīt tatra lokānāṃ prabhavāpyayaḥ | kim idaṃ vartate putri kriyatāṃ mama tad vacaḥ ||
ततस्तामब्रवीत्तत्र लोकानां प्रभवाप्ययः। किमिदं वर्तते पुत्रि क्रियतां मम तद्वचः॥

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes alignment with rightful authority and cosmic order: Brahmā, as guardian of creation’s order, checks improper action and directs the maiden to follow a corrective instruction.
Brahmā encounters a maiden engaged in some troubling or improper act; he questions her conduct (“What are you doing?”) and issues a direct command to comply with his instruction.
