Puṣkara Mahatmya: Brahmā’s Lotus-Tīrtha, Sacrifice, Initiation, and Kṣetra-Dharma
द्रष्टव्यो निर्विकारोऽसौ प्रधानपुरुषेश्वरः । कर्मणा मनसा वाचा नित्ययुक्ताः पितामहम्
draṣṭavyo nirvikāro'sau pradhānapuruṣeśvaraḥ | karmaṇā manasā vācā nityayuktāḥ pitāmaham
พระองค์—อีศวรแห่งประธาน (ปรกฤติเดิม) และปุรุษ (จิตวิญญาณ)—พึงรู้แจ้งว่าเป็นผู้ไร้ความแปรเปลี่ยน (นิรวิกาเราะ) เหล่าฤษีผู้ตั้งมั่นเสมอในกรรม ใจ และวาจา ย่อมได้ประจักษ์ปิตามหะ (พรหมา)
Unspecified (narrative voice within Sṛṣṭikhaṇḍa context)
Concept: The Supreme—Lord of Pradhāna and Puruṣa—is changeless and must be realized; steady discipline of action, mind, and speech enables true vision.
Application: Practice ‘trikaraṇa-śuddhi’: align deeds, thoughts, and words; adopt daily vows (satya, ahiṃsā, moderation) and dedicate work to the Lord to stabilize inner change against the changeless Reality.
