Primordial Creation: From Brahman to the Cosmic Egg
सर्गकाले तु संप्राप्ते ज्ञात्वा तं ज्ञानरूपकम् । आत्मलीनं विकारं च तत्स्रष्टुमुपचक्रमे
sargakāle tu saṃprāpte jñātvā taṃ jñānarūpakam | ātmalīnaṃ vikāraṃ ca tatsraṣṭumupacakrame
Nang dumating ang panahon ng paglikha, matapos makilala ang prinsipyong iyon bilang likas na kamalayan, at ang pagbabago na nakalubog sa Sarili, saka niya sinimulang likhain iyon.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: तत्स्रष्टुमुपचक्रमे = तत् + स्रष्टुम् + उपचक्रमे (त् + स्; म् + उ).
It indicates that the underlying principle is understood as consciousness/knowledge in essence, not merely a material entity.
The verse suggests a pre-manifest state where potential transformations remain latent within the Self/principle until the moment of creation.
Creation is portrayed as the manifestation of what is already known and latent—consciousness-principle and its potential modifications—unfolding at the appointed time.
