Atithi-satkāra and the Consolation of Wise Counsel (अतिथिसत्कारः प्रज्ञानवचनस्य च पराश्वासनम्)
ब्रह्मा वृतो देवगणैरऋषिभि श्ष महात्मभि: । आजगामाशु त॑ देशं यत्र युद्धमवर्तत
brahmā vṛto devagaṇair ṛṣibhiś ca mahātmabhiḥ | ājagāmāśu taṁ deśaṁ yatra yuddham avartata |
梵天（Brahmā）为诸天众与大心仙人所环绕，迅疾来到那战火正炽之处。此偈将战争置于宇宙与道德的尺度之中：当凶兆显现，至高的神圣与圣贤权威亦亲临其境，仿佛为见证、制止，或在杀伐之中重导正法（dharma）的走向。

The verse suggests that war and moral crisis are not merely human affairs; they reverberate through the cosmic order. The appearance of Brahmā with gods and sages implies oversight by higher authorities of dharma, especially when ominous signs indicate ethical imbalance or impending catastrophe.
Brahmā, accompanied by gods and great sages, quickly arrives at the location where the battle is underway. The scene emphasizes the gravity of the conflict and sets a tone of divine witnessing or intervention.
