महर्षिव्यास कृता श्री ब्रह्मा स्तुतिः (वायुपुराण अंतर्गत)

Maharshi Vyas krit Shri Brahma Stuti (From Vayu Purana)

A hymn to Lord Brahma from the opening chapter of the Vayu Purana, composed by Maharshi Vyasa, who bows to Brahma as the eternal, unconquered creator of the worlds, endowed with the fourfold perfection of knowledge, dispassion, sovereignty, and righteousness. Recited as an invocation before the study of the Puranas, it expresses the Vyas sage's reverent surrender to the source of all sacred knowledge.

Vayu Purana, Chapter 1 (वायुपुराणम् / पूर्वार्धम् / अध्यायः १)

प्रपद्ये देवमीशानं शाश्वतं ध्रुवमव्ययम्। । महादेवं महात्मानं सर्वस्य जगतः पतिम् ॥ १ ॥

O God! You are the master of all; You are eternal, steadfast, and imperishable. You are the God of gods, the great-souled one, and the sovereign Lord of the entire universe — therefore I take refuge in You and offer my salutations.

ब्रह्माणं लोकर्तारं सर्वज्ञमपराजितम् । प्रभुं भूतभविष्यस्य साम्प्रतस्य च सत्पतिम् ॥ २ ॥

(I take refuge in) Brahma, the maker of the worlds, the all-knowing, the unconquered - the lord of past, future, and present, and the true Lord.

ज्ञानमप्रतिमं यस्य वैराग्यं च जगत्पतेः । ऐश्वर्यं चैव धर्मश्च सहसिद्धिचतुष्टयः ॥ ३॥

That lord of the world whose knowledge is beyond compare and whose dispassion is unmatched, and likewise whose sovereignty and whose righteousness are supreme - endowed with these four perfections together, (to Him I bow).

य इमान् पश्यते भावान् नित्यं सदसदात्मकान् । आविशन्ति पुनस्तं वै क्रियाभावार्थमीश्वरम् ॥ ४॥

He who eternally beholds these existences, composed of the real and the unreal, and into whom they again enter for the sake of activity and being - to that Lord (I bow).

लोककृल्लोकतत्त्वज्ञो योगमास्थाय तत्त्ववित् । असृजत् सर्वभूतानि स्थावराणि चराणि च ॥ ५ ॥

The maker of the world, the knower of the world's true nature, who - established in yog and realizing reality - created all beings, both the unmoving and the moving; (to Him I bow).

तमजं विश्वकर्माणं चित्पतिं लोकसाक्षिणम् । पुराणाख्यानजिज्ञासुर्व्रजामि शरणं प्रभुम् ॥ ६ ॥

Desiring to hear the ancient narratives of the Puranas, I take refuge in that Lord - the unborn, Vishvakarma the maker of all, the lord of consciousness, and the witness of all the worlds.

वायुपुराणान्तर्गत महर्षिव्यासकृत ब्रह्मस्तुति सम्पूर्ण ॥

Thus concludes the Brahma Stuti composed by Maharshi Vyasa, contained within the Vayu Purana.
