Āścarya-kathana: Brāhmaṇa–Nāga Dialogue on Sūrya (Vivasvat) and the ‘Second Sun’ Phenomenon
ततो<थ वरदो देवो ब्रह्मा लोकपितामह: । असृजत् स ततो लोकान् कृत्स्नान् स्थावरजजड्भमान्
tato 'tha varado devo brahmā lokapitāmahaḥ | asṛjat sa tato lokān kṛtsnān sthāvarajaṅgamān ||
Pagkaraan, si Brahmā—ang diyos na nagbibigay-biyaya, ang lolo at pinagmulan ng mga daigdig—ay nagsimulang lumikha. Mula sa kanya sumibol ang ganap na lawak ng mga daigdig at nilalang—ang di-gumagalaw at ang gumagalaw—at naitatag ang kaayusang pinaglulunsaran ng gawa, pag-ani ng bunga, at pagtaguyod ng dharma.

The verse frames creation as an ordered manifestation brought forth by Brahmā, implying a structured cosmos in which beings—immobile and mobile—have their proper place and can pursue dharma within a divinely established order.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that after the preceding event, Brahmā—described as the boon-giving grandsire of the worlds—creates the totality of realms and beings, encompassing both stationary and moving life.
