Vasiṣṭha nói: “Bạch Đấng Tôn Quý, tất cả chúng con—và cả vũ trụ này, gồm mọi loài động và bất động—đều sinh ra từ chính Ngài. Vì thế, Agni, ngọn Lửa rực sáng, cũng là con của Ngài.”

Educational Q&A

All beings and the entire cosmos—animate and inanimate—are presented as emanating from the Supreme Lord; even Agni (Fire), a major Vedic deity, is affirmed as deriving from that one source, emphasizing divine sovereignty and the unity of creation.

Vasiṣṭha addresses a revered Lord and, in a tone of theological affirmation, declares that the whole world is the Lord’s progeny; he then specifically cites Agni (Vibhāvasu) as an example, reinforcing the Lord’s status as the ultimate origin.
