bharadvāja uvāca |
puṣkarādyadi saṃbhūto jyeṣṭhaṃ bhavati puṣkaram |
brahmāṇaṃ pūrvajaṃ cāha bhavānsaṃdeha eva me || 35 ||
"Bharadwaja said, 'If Brahman sprang from the Lotus, then it is the Lotus that should be regarded as the First-born and not Brahman. Why, however, is Brahma said to be the first? Do thou remove that doubt of mine.'
