Daksha’s Sacrifice and the Origin of Kapalin Rudra (Pulastya–Narada Dialogue)
त्रिशूलाभिहतान्मार्गात् तिस्रो धारा विनिर्ययुः एका गगनमाक्रम्य स्थिता ताराभिमम्डिता
triśūlābhihatānmārgāt tisro dhārā viniryayuḥ ekā gaganamākramya sthitā tārābhimamḍitā
Từ lối mạch bị tam xoa đánh trúng, ba dòng chảy tuôn ra. Một dòng vươn lên trời cao và dừng lại nơi ấy, rực rỡ như được điểm trang bởi các vì sao.

The verse emphasizes that divine agency can generate multiple orders of reality from a single act—terrestrial and celestial—suggesting a layered cosmos where the sacred is not confined to earth.
Best classified under sarga/etiological narration (creation-like account of streams and subsequent beings), rather than vamśānucarita; it functions as an origin explanation within the narrative.
The ‘three streams’ can be read as a tripartite unfolding of Rudra’s power; the stream that becomes star-adorned indicates transmutation from physical flow to astral presence (a sacralization of the cosmos).
