Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)
गतेषु त्रिदिवौक:सु ब्रह्मैक: पर्यवस्थित: । दिदृक्षुर्भगवन्तं तमनिरुद्धतनौ स्थितम्
gateṣu tridivaukāḥsu brahmaikaḥ paryavasthitaḥ | didṛkṣur bhagavantaṁ tam aniruddha-tanau sthitam ||
Nang makaalis na ang mga diyos na naninirahan sa langit, si Brahmā na lamang ang naiwan doon. Nagnanais na masilayan ang Mapalad na Panginoon—na nananatili sa anyo ni Aniruddha—tumindig siya nang taimtim, naghihintay ng Kanyang darśana (banal na pagtanaw).
व्यास उवाच
Even the highest cosmic deity, Brahmā, seeks the Lord’s direct vision; the verse highlights reverent devotion and the supremacy of Bhagavān, approached through contemplation of His manifested form (Aniruddha).
After the heavenly gods leave, Brahmā stays behind alone, intent on beholding Bhagavān who is present in the Aniruddha form, indicating a focused moment of divine seeking and revelation.
