अध्याय ३५१ — उञ्छवृत्ति-व्रतसिद्धेः मानुषस्य परमगतिः
Sūrya–Nāga Dialogue on the Perfected Gleaner-Ascetic
“तुम संसारकी सृष्टिरूप अभीष्ट कार्यकी सिद्धिके लिये ब्रह्माजीके भीतर प्रवेश करो।' ईश्वरका यह आदेश पाकर बुद्धि शीघ्र ही ब्रह्माजीमें प्रवेश कर गयी ।।
vaiśampāyana uvāca | tvaṃ saṃsārasya sṛṣṭirūpam abhīṣṭa-kārya-siddhaye brahmaṇaḥ antar praviśa | īśvarasya etad ājñāṃ prāpya buddhiḥ śīghraṃ brahmaṇi praviśya gatā || athīnaṃ buddhi-saṃyuktaṃ punaḥ sa dadarśa hariḥ | bhūyaś caiva vacaḥ prāha—sṛjema vividhāḥ prajāḥ ||
毗湿摩波耶那说：“为成就所愿之事——于轮回世间施行创造——当入于梵天。”承受主命，智即迅速入于梵天。及至梵天具足了关于创造的智力，诃利复以慈恩之目再观之，又言：“今当创造众多而种种差别之有情。”

Educational Q&A
Creation and governance of the world proceed through divinely instituted order: the Lord empowers Brahmā by installing buddhi (discerning intelligence), and then commands the generation of diverse beings. Ethically, it implies that right action (kārya-siddhi) requires proper inner faculty—clarity and intelligence aligned with higher injunction.
The Lord instructs personified Intelligence (buddhi) to enter Brahmā so that Brahmā may be capable of creation. Once Brahmā is united with this creative discernment, Hari looks upon him again and directs him to create the various classes of living beings.
