Dana, Dharma, and the Four Āśramas
ततः सलिलमुत्पन्नं तमसीवापरं तम: । तस्माच्च सलिलोत्पीडादुदतिष्ठत मारुत:,“तदनन्तर आकाशसे जलकी उत्पत्ति हुई; मानो अन्धकारमें ही दूसरा अन्धकार प्रकट हुआ हो। उस जलप्रवाहसे वायुका उत्थान हुआ
tataḥ salilam utpannaṃ tamasīvāparaṃ tamaḥ | tasmāc ca salilotpīḍād udatīṣṭhat mārutaḥ |
Rồi sau đó, nước sinh ra—như một bóng tối thứ hai trỗi dậy ngay trong lòng bóng tối. Và từ sức ép cùng sự dâng trào của khối nước ấy, gió (Vāyu) đã phát sinh.
भरद्वाज उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse presents a cosmological sequence in which elements emerge from prior conditions: from an undifferentiated darkness arises water, and from the dynamic pressure of water arises wind. It frames creation as an ordered unfolding from subtle/obscure states to manifest forces.
Bharadvāja is describing the early stages of creation: first the appearance of water in a state likened to deep darkness, and then the arising of wind (māruta) from the agitation/pressure within that watery mass.
