Kṛtayuga Description and Instruction on Royal Dharma
एतत् सहस्रपर्यन्तमहो ब्राह्ममुदाह्नतम् । विश्व हि ब्रह्मभवने सर्वत: परिवर्त्तते
etad sahasraparyantam aho brāhmam udāhṛtam | viśvaṃ hi brahmabhavane sarvataḥ parivartate ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: “Sa ganito’y naipahayag na ang maringal na salaysay na may kaugnayan kay Brahmā, na umaabot hanggang sa isang libo (sa sukat/bilang). Sapagkat tunay, ang buong sansinukob, sa loob ng tahanan ni Brahman, ay umiikot at umiinog sa lahat ng dako.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes a Brahma-centered vision: all phenomena belong to Brahman’s realm and the universe continually cycles and transforms within that ultimate ground.
Vaiśampāyana, as narrator, concludes or caps a preceding sacred exposition, marking its extent (“up to a thousand”) and summarizing its cosmic import: the world’s ceaseless turning within Brahman’s abode.
