ब्रह्माणं शरणं जग्मुः क्षुधार्ताः परमेष्ठिनम् ॥
punas tāsu praṇaṣṭāsu vibhrāntās tāḥ punaḥ prajāḥ /
brahmāṇaṃ śaraṇaṃ jagmuḥ kṣudhārtāḥ parameṣṭhinam //

Poṣaṇa: appeal to the creator for restoration of nourishment; also Sarga-related continuity (re-establishing the world’s functioning).
Turning to Brahmā signifies returning to buddhi/principle of order when instinct (hunger) and confusion dominate—re-centering in cosmic intelligence.
