इदं च ब्रह्मणा दत्तं हेमायै वनमुत्तमम्।।4.51.15।।शाश्वता: कामभोगश्च गृहं चेदं हिरण्मयम्।
idaṃ ca brahmaṇā dattaṃ hemāyai vanam uttamam | śāśvatāḥ kāmabhogaś ca gṛhaṃ cedaṃ hiraṇmayam ||
اور یہ بہترین جنگل برہما نے ہیمَا کو عطا کیا—ہمیشہ رہنے والے کام بھوگ اور یہ سنہرا گھر بھی۔
'Thus this wonderful forest and the golden house with all luxury were given away permanently to Hema by the creator Brahma.
Gifts and privileges are framed as divinely sanctioned trusts; dharma lies in rightful stewardship rather than indulgence alone.
Svayaṃprabhā explains the transfer of ownership: Brahmā grants the forest and golden house to Hēmā.
Legitimacy and order—authority and possession are linked to proper grant, not seizure.
