tebhyaḥ so ’sṛjat svīyaṁ
puraṁ puruṣam ātmavān
tān dṛṣṭvā ye purā sṛṣṭāḥ
praśaśaṁsuḥ prajāpatim
Brahmā gave to Manu his own human form. Those who were created previously glanced at Manu and began to praise Brahmā.
Brahmā gave up that body (puram) in the form of a human, and Manu accepted it.
|| 3.20.51||
aho etaj jagat-sraṣṭaḥ
sukṛtaṁ bata te kṛtam
pratiṣṭhitāḥ kriyā yasmin
sākam annam adāma he
Creator of the universe! You have done excellent work in creating Manu. By this, the sacrificial actions will be established and we will be able to eat the remnants of sacrifice together.
O creator of the universe! Creation of Manu by you (te) is well done. In creating Manu (yat), actions such as sacrifice will be established, since Manu will protect everything. We will eat the offerings of food together (sākam).
|| 3.20.52||
tapasā vidyayā yukto
yogena susamādhinā
ṛṣīn ṛṣir hṛṣīkeśaḥ
sasarjābhimatāḥ prajāḥ
Endowed with austerity, worship, aṣṭāṅga-yoga, jñāna and vairāgya, controlling his senses, Brahmā created the sages, his dear offspring.
This describes Brahmā’s creation of the sages when he was engaged in worship. Vidyayā means “by worship.” Yogena means by aṣṭāṅga-yoga. Susamādhiṇā means “by jñāna and vairāgya.” Controlling his senses, he created the sages such as the Kumāras.
|| 3.20.53||
tebhyaś caikaikaśaḥ svasya
dehasyāṁśam adād ajaḥ
yat tat samādhi-yogarddhi-
tapo-vidyā-viraktimat
Brahmā gave separate portions of his body endowed with knowledge, yoga, siddhis, austerity, worship and detachment to each of the various sages.
This verse describes what portions of his body he gave to the different sages. Those portions of his body which had knowledge (samādhi), yoga, siddhis (ṛddhi), austerity, worship and detachment he gave to the various sages. After this, Śiva appeared, and Marīci and others, according to the description in the Twelfth Chapter.
Thus ends the commentary on Twentieth Chapter of the Third Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas
