Adhyaya 48 — The Emanation of Beings from Brahma: Night, Day, Twilight, and the Orders of Creation
उत्ससर्ज ततस्तां तु तमोमात्रात्मिकां तनुम् ।
सापविद्धा तनुस्तेन सद्यो रात्रिरजायत ॥
utsasarja tatas tāṃ tu tamomātrātmikāṃ tanum |
sāpaviddhā tanus tena sadyo rātrir ajāyata ||
แล้วท่านได้สลัดทิ้งกายที่ประกอบด้วยตมัสเป็นส่วนใหญ่ ครั้นกายนั้นถูกละทิ้งโดยท่าน ในทันใดนั้นเอง ‘ราตรี’ ก็อุบัติขึ้น

FAQs
Temporal rhythms (night/day) are tied to guṇic states: night corresponds to tamas and withdrawal. Ethically, it hints at rest, obscuration, and the need to transcend tamasic inertia.
Sarga: alongside beings, cosmic conditions (like night) are also generated as part of creation’s ordering.
Casting off a ‘tamasic body’ suggests that obscuration is a sheath (upādhi) that can be relinquished; night symbolizes the veiling power that follows from tamas.
