FAQs
“Pitāmaha” literally means “grandfather” and is a common epithet for Brahmā, the creator deity, indicating the one regarded as the progenitor of beings.
The verse conveys urgent instruction: the addressed woman is told to promptly go, see her husband who is attended by all the gods, and proceed to the presence of Brahmā.
It highlights promptness and attentiveness to divine counsel—acting without delay when directed toward a sacred meeting or higher authority (here, Brahmā and the assembly of devas).
