Adhyaya 48 — The Emanation of Beings from Brahma: Night, Day, Twilight, and the Orders of Creation
एवं पश्वोषधीः सृष्ट्वा ह्ययजच्चाध्वरे विभुः ।
तस्मादादौ तु कल्पस्य त्रेतायुगमुखे तदा ॥
evaṃ paśvoṣadhīḥ sṛṣṭvā hy ayajac cādhvare vibhuḥ | tasmād ādau tu kalpasya tretāyugamukhe tadā ||
இவ்வாறு விலங்குகளையும் மருந்துச் செடிகளையும் படைத்த பின், ஆண்டவன் விதிப்படி யாகத்தை நிகழ்த்தினான். ஆகவே கல்பத்தின் தொடக்கத்தில், அதாவது திரேதா யுகத்தின் ஆரம்பத்திலேயே, இந்த யாக ஒழுங்கு நடைமுறைக்கு வந்தது.

Creation is not complete without yajña: the cosmos is sustained through reciprocal offering (ṛta), linking ecology (plants/animals) with ritual responsibility.
Sarga with an explicit bridge to yuga-structure and ritual order; it gestures toward the Purāṇic concern with time-cycles (kalpa/yuga), though not a full Manvantara passage here.
Yajña is the inner act of offering (ego into awareness) mirrored outwardly; placing it at Tretā’s ‘mouth’ indicates the rise of formal ritualism as consciousness externalizes into structured dharma.
