Mārkaṇḍeya said: As his radiance was being intensely heated, both from above and below, the lotus-born Grandfather (Brahmā), desiring to create, then began to reflect.
सृष्टिः कृतापि मे नाशं प्रयास्यत्यभितेजसा ।
भास्वतः सृष्टिसंहारस्थितिहेतोर्महात्मनः ॥२॥

2.
Even my creation will be annihilated by the immense radiance of the great-souled (mahātman) Sun (Bhāsvat), who is the cause of creation, dissolution, and sustenance.
अप्राणाः प्राणिनः सर्व आपः शुष्यन्ति तेजसा ।
न चाम्भसा विना सृष्टिर्विश्वस्यास्य भविष्यति ॥३॥
न चाम्भसा विना सृष्टिर्विश्वस्यास्य भविष्यति ॥३॥

All living beings become lifeless (aprāṇa), and the waters dry up due to the heat. And without water (ambhas), this universe's creation (sṛṣṭi) will not exist.
इति सञ्चिन्त्य भगवान्स्तोत्रं भगवतो रवेः ।
चकार तन्मये भूत्वा ब्रह्मा लोकपितामहः ॥४॥

Having thus pondered, Lord Brahmā (brahman), the grandfather of the worlds, became completely absorbed in Him and composed a hymn of praise to the glorious Sun (Bhagavat Ravi).
ब्रह्मोवाच ।
नमस्ये यन्मयं सर्वमेतत्सर्वमयश्च यः ।

yaḥ viśvamūrtiḥ param jyotiḥ yat tat dhyāyanti yoginaḥ
yaḥ viśvamūrtiḥ param jyotiḥ yat tat dhyāyanti yoginaḥ
5.
Brahmā (brahman) said: 'I offer reverence to Him of whom all this (universe) consists, and who Himself pervades all. He is the universal form (viśvamūrti), the supreme light, upon whom the yogis (yogin) meditate (dhyāna).'
य ऋङ्मयो यो यजुषां निधानं साम्नां च यो योनिरचिन्त्यशक्तिः ।

He who consists of the Ṛg Veda, who is the abode of the Yajur Vedas, and who is the source of the Sāma Vedas; He who possesses inconceivable power; He who is made of the three Vedas, existing as the half-mora (ardhamātrā) in his gross form; He who has the supreme form and is worthy of transcending the qualities (guṇa).

Salutations to you, who are the cause of all, the supreme and knowable reality, the primordial and ultimate light, whose form is unknowable, and who, in your divine (ātman) form, are also gross. Salutations to you, the shining, primordial, and supreme one among all others.

I create this creation (sṛṣṭi) – the primordial power (śakti) is yours – being impelled by that (power), I create the forms of water, earth, wind, and fire. This creation, whose deities and objects are all included from the praṇava (OM) onwards, is not by my own will. Similarly, the maintenance and dissolution are also not by my own will.
वह्निस्त्वमेव जलशोषणतः पृथिव्याः सृष्टिं करोषि जगतां च तथाद्य पाकम् ।

Indeed, you are fire; you create the earth by drying up its waters, and likewise, you primarily initiate the cooking (digestion) of all beings. O Lord (bhagavan), you yourself are pervasive, like the form of space (gaganasvarūpa). You alone protect this entire universe in five ways.
यज्ञैर्यजन्ति परमात्मविदो भवन्तं विष्णुस्वरूपमखिलेष्टिमयं विवस्वन् ।

O Vivsvan, knowers of the Supreme Self (ātman) worship You with sacrifices (yajñas), who are the embodiment of Viṣṇu and comprised of all sacrificial rites. Moreover, ascetics, whose inner selves (ātman) and minds are controlled, meditate upon You, the supreme Lord of all, seeking the liberation (mokṣa) of their individual selves (ātman).

Salutations to You, whose form is divine, and whose form is the Vedic ritual (yajña). Salutations to You, whose intrinsic nature (svarūpa) is the Supreme Reality (Brahman) and who is contemplated by yogis.

12.
O all-pervading one (vibhu), please withdraw your radiance, which is a concentration of your splendor. This is for the sake of the ordainer of creation, and I myself am ready to commence creation.
मार्कण्डेय उवाच ।

Mārkaṇḍeya said: Thus praised by Brahmā, the creator of creation, the resplendent Sun god withdrew his radiance and retained only a very small portion.
चकार च ततः सृष्टिं जगतः पद्मसम्भवः ।
तथा तेषु महाभागः पूर्वकल्पान्तरेषु वै ॥१४॥

14.
And thereafter, the lotus-born (Brahmā) undertook the creation of the universe. Similarly, that greatly exalted one (Brahmā) did so in previous cycles of creation (kalpas) as well.
देवासुरादीन्मर्त्त्यांश्च पश्वादीन्वृक्षवीरुधः ।

15.
O great sage, (Brahmā) created gods, asuras, and other such beings, along with mortals, animals, trees, creepers, and also the hells, just as he had done previously.
