On the Principle of Keśava: Cosmogony and Divine Epithets
तालुदेशमथोद्दाल्य ब्राह्मणस्य महात्मन: । ज्योतिर्ज्वाला सुमहती जगाम त्रिदिवं तदा,इसी समय महात्मा ब्राह्मणके तालुदेश (ब्रह्म-रन्ध्र) का भेदन करके एक ज्योतिर्मयी विशाल ज्वाला निकली और स्वर्गकी ओर चल दी
tāludeśam athoddālya brāhmaṇasya mahātmanaḥ | jyotirjvālā sumahatī jagāma tridivaṃ tadā ||
毗湿摩说道：于是，刺破那位大德婆罗门的上腭之处——即“梵门”（brahma-randhra）——一团巨大而光辉的灵焰迸现，立刻向天界升去。此段彰显了克己净化之生的理想：以吉祥之离去作终，而内在灵力被描绘为由最高的孔窍上腾。

Educational Q&A
The verse presents an idealized yogic departure: through purity, austerity, and inner realization, the life-force (symbolized as a radiant flame) rises through the highest aperture (brahma-randhra) toward a higher state, suggesting a meritorious or liberated end aligned with dharma.
Bhīṣma describes the moment of a great brāhmaṇa’s passing: the brahma-randhra is said to be pierced, a huge luminous flame emerges, and it travels upward to tridiva (heaven), marking an auspicious transition from embodied life to a celestial destination.
