अध्याय १९० — वामदेव-वाम्य-वृत्तान्तः
The Vāmadeva Horses Episode and the Ethics of Promise
मत्तः प्रादुर्भवन्त्येते मामेव प्रविशन्ति च | ये शूद्र मेरे दोनों चरण हैं। मेरी शक्तिसे क्रमश: इनका प्रादुर्भाव हुआ है। ऋग्वेद, यजुर्वेद, सामवेद और अथर्ववेद--ये मुझसे ही प्रकट होते और मुझमें ही लीन हो जाते हैं
mattaḥ prādurbhavanti ete mām eva praviśanti ca |
Wika ng Diyos: “Mula sa akin lamang nagmumula ang mga ito, at sa akin lamang sila muling pumapasok. Sa aking kapangyarihan sila nahahayag nang sunod-sunod, at kapag natapos ang kanilang landas, sila’y nalulusaw at nagbabalik sa akin. Kaya ang mga Veda—Ṛg, Yajus, Sāma, at Atharva—ay nahahayag mula sa akin at sa huli’y sa akin din nagbabalik.”
देव उवाच
All sacred knowledge and cosmic phenomena have a single ultimate source: the Supreme. Whatever manifests does so by that divine power and, in the end, returns to the same reality—affirming unity behind multiplicity and grounding dharma in a transcendent origin.
A divine speaker explains the metaphysical framework of manifestation and reabsorption: beings or principles arise from the Deity and merge back into the Deity. The statement is illustrated through the example of the four Vedas, presented as revelations that emerge from the divine and ultimately dissolve back into it.
