Nāgendra–Brāhmaṇa Saṃvāda: Praśna-vidhi and Dharmic Approach on the Gomatī Riverbank
जनमेजय उवाच यत्तद् दर्शितवान् ब्रह्मा देवं हयशिरोधरम्
janamejaya uvāca yattad darśitavān brahmā devaṃ hayaśirodharam
ชนเมชัยยะกล่าวว่า “ว่าด้วยเทพผู้ทรงเศียรม้า ซึ่งพระพรหมได้ชี้ให้เห็น (หรือทรงเผยให้ปรากฏ) นั้น—…”
जनमेजय उवाच
The verse frames dharmic learning as beginning with humble inquiry: Janamejaya seeks clarification about a divine form revealed by Brahmā, implying that right understanding comes through asking and receiving authoritative instruction.
Janamejaya is speaking and referring back to an earlier revelation: Brahmā had shown or identified a divine being described as ‘horse-headed.’ The line functions as the opening of a question that will lead into further explanation.
