Brahman appears as a mysterious yakṣa — recognized neither as Brahman nor as any familiar god. The gods are perplexed. Pride has made them blind to the very source of their power.
ब्रह्म ने उनके इस विचार को जान लिया, और उनके सामने प्रकट हुआ। वे उसे पहचान न सके — "यह अद्भुत यक्ष कौन है?"
अक्षरशः अनुवाद — मूल संस्कृत श्लोक के प्रत्येक पद का प्रत्यक्ष अर्थ।

ब्रह्म ने उनके इस विचार को जान लिया, और उनके सामने प्रकट हुआ। अनुभव तब स्पष्ट होता है जब उसे किसी एक घटना का आकस्मिक संयोग न मानकर एक नियम की तरह देखा जाए। यह पंक्ति उसी नियम को इस प्रसंग में रखती है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
