Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)

त॑ देवो दर्शयामास कृत्वा हयशिरो महत्‌ | साड्नावर्तयन्‌ वेदान्‌ कमण्डलुत्रिदण्डधूक्‌ू,तब भगवानने महान्‌ हयग्रीवरूप धारण करके ब्रह्माजीको दर्शन दिया। वे कमण्डलु और त्रिदण्ड धारण करके छहों अंगोंसहित वेदोंकी आवृत्ति कर रहे थे

taṁ devo darśayāmāsa kṛtvā hayaśiro mahat | ṣaḍ-aṅgān āvartayan vedān kamaṇḍalu-tridaṇḍa-dhṛk ||

వ్యాసుడు పలికెను—అప్పుడు ఆ దివ్యుడు మహా హయశిర (హయగ్రీవ) రూపమును ధరించి దర్శనమిచ్చెను. కమండలువును, త్రిదండమును ధరించి, ఆరు వేదాంగములతో కూడ వేదములను ఆవర్తనము (పునఃపఠనం) చేయుచుండెను.

Educational Q&A

True authority in dharma is grounded in disciplined Vedic knowledge and ascetic self-restraint: the divine is portrayed not as mere power, but as a teacher who embodies study (Veda with Vedāṅgas) and renunciation (kamaṇḍalu, tridaṇḍa).

Vyāsa narrates a theophany: the deity manifests in the great horse-headed (Hayagrīva) form and appears before Brahmā, reciting the Vedas along with the six Vedāṅgas while holding the ascetic emblems of a water-pot and threefold staff.
