पुरा तपश्चचारोग्रममराणां पितामहः । आविर्भूतास्ततो वेदाः सषडंगपदक्रमाः
purā tapaścacārogramamarāṇāṃ pitāmahaḥ | āvirbhūtāstato vedāḥ saṣaḍaṃgapadakramāḥ
ప్రాచీనకాలమున అమరుల పితామహుడు ప్రజాపతి బ్రహ్మ ఘోర తపస్సు చేసెను; తదనంతరం షడ్వేదాంగములతో, పదక్రమసహితముగా వేదములు అవిర్భవించెను।
Sūta (implied continuation)
Listener: mahārṣayaḥ
Scene: Brahmā, the grandsire, seated in deep austerity; from the luminous space of meditation, the Vedas manifest as radiant scrolls/sound-waves, accompanied by symbols of the six Vedāṅgas and orderly recitation.
Sacred knowledge arises from tapas and divine order—revelation is rooted in disciplined spiritual power.
None explicitly; the verse provides cosmological/scriptural background within the Prabhāsa-kṣetra Māhātmya narrative frame.
Tapas (austerity) is praised as the means by which divine knowledge manifests, though no specific rite is prescribed.
