Āścarya-kathana: Brāhmaṇa–Nāga Dialogue on Sūrya (Vivasvat) and the ‘Second Sun’ Phenomenon
तेनैवाद्येन धर्मेण ब्रह्मा लोकविसर्गकृत् । पूजयामास देवेशं हरिं नारायणं प्रभुम्,लोकस॒ष्टा ब्रह्माने उसी आदिदधर्मके द्वारा देवेश्वर भगवान् नारायण हरिकी आराधना की
tenaivādyena dharmeṇa brahmā lokavisargakṛt | pūjayāmāsa deveśaṃ hariṃ nārāyaṇaṃ prabhum ||
Vaiśampāyana nói: Chính nhờ dharma nguyên sơ ấy, Brahmā—đấng tạo hóa khiến các thế giới vận hành—đã phụng thờ Chúa tể của chư thiên, Hari, Nārāyaṇa, bậc Chủ tể tối thượng.

Even Brahmā, the cosmic creator, acts within an original dharma (primordial moral-cosmic order) and directs worship toward Nārāyaṇa as the supreme Lord; thus dharma and devotion are presented as foundational to creation and right conduct.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Brahmā, described as the one who brings forth the worlds, worshipped Hari-Nārāyaṇa, the Lord of the gods, by means of the primeval dharma—linking the act of world-creation with reverence for the supreme deity.
