Nāgendra–Brāhmaṇa Saṃvāda: Praśna-vidhi and Dharmic Approach on the Gomatī Riverbank
पुनरुत्तस्थतु: शीघ्रं रसानामालयात् तदा । ददृशाते च पुरुषं तमेवादिकरं प्रभुम्
punar uttasthatuḥ śīghraṃ rasānām ālayāt tadā | dadṛśāte ca puruṣaṃ tam evādikaraṃ prabhum ||
Pagkaraan, mabilis na muling tumindig ang dalawa mula sa tahanan ng mga “diwa” o esensiya. Sa sandaling iyon, nakita nila ang siya ring Persona—ang sinaunang Tagapaglikha at naghaharing Panginoon—na nakatayo sa harap nila. Ipinahihiwatig ng talatang ito na ang tunay na pagkaunawa ay hindi lamang pagtikim sa mga “esensiya” ng daigdig, kundi ang pagbabalik upang masilayan ang Unang Sanhi na siyang saligan at tagapamahala ng lahat ng karanasan.
वैशग्पायन उवाच
The verse points beyond sensory or experiential ‘rasas’ to their source: after engaging with the realm of essences, one must rise and behold the primordial Lord (Puruṣa) as the first cause and true sovereign. Ethically, it supports detachment from enjoyment as an end in itself and reorientation toward the ultimate ground of reality.
Two figures (implied by the dual verbs) quickly rise from the ‘abode of rasas/essences’ and then see again the same supreme Person—described as the primal maker and lord—indicating a renewed encounter or recognition of the ultimate being after a prior experience or instruction.
