Āścarya-kathana: Brāhmaṇa–Nāga Dialogue on Sūrya (Vivasvat) and the ‘Second Sun’ Phenomenon
अथ चिन्तयतस्तस्य कर्णाभ्यां पुरुष: स्मृत: । प्रजासर्गकरो ब्रह्मा तमुवाच जगत्पति:
atha cintayatastasya karṇābhyāṃ puruṣaḥ smṛtaḥ | prajāsargakaro brahmā tamuvāca jagatpatiḥ ||
جب وہ فکر میں محو تھے تو گویا اُن کے دونوں کانوں سے یاد کی صورت ایک پُرش ظاہر ہوا۔ وہ مخلوقات کا سارجن کرنے والا برہما تھا؛ تب جگت پتی نے اُس سے خطاب کیا۔
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse highlights that deep contemplation can become a doorway to higher instruction: when the mind is steady and intent, authoritative wisdom is presented through a divine source—here Brahmā, emblematic of cosmic order and the principles of creation.
A person who is reflecting is suddenly met by a manifested ‘Person’ identified as Brahmā, the creator. Brahmā, described as the lord of the world, begins to speak—signaling the start of a revelatory dialogue or instruction.
