Srimad Bhagavatam — Tritiya Skandha, Shloka 47
Secondary Creation Begins: Brahmā’s Productions, the Guṇas, and the Emergence of Orders of Beings
देहेन वै भोगवता शयानो बहुचिन्तया । सर्गेऽनुपचिते क्रोधादुत्ससर्ज ह तद्वपु: ॥ ४७ ॥
dehena vai bhogavatā śayāno bahu-cintayā sarge ’nupacite krodhād utsasarja ha tad vapuḥ
Có lúc Brahmā nằm duỗi dài trong thân thể nghiêng về hưởng thụ, lòng đầy ưu tư vì công cuộc sáng tạo chưa tiến triển. Trong cơn giận u uất, Ngài cũng từ bỏ thân ấy.
FAQs
This verse shows that when creation did not progress, Brahmā’s frustration turned into anger, and that anger precipitated a change of state—he abandoned that particular body, indicating how emotions can propel further manifestations in the cosmic process.
Because the creation remained undeveloped despite his efforts; overwhelmed by intense brooding, Brahmā became angry and, from that anger, relinquished the specific form he was inhabiting, moving the narrative toward subsequent phases of creation.
When a project stagnates, unchecked rumination can harden into anger; the verse points to the need to shift one’s approach—consciously “drop” an unhelpful mindset or mode of action and proceed with clarity and steadiness.
