Okokuqala, kufanele kushiwo ngesimo sengqondo sobuHindu kuya ezinganekwaneni ezindala zeBrahmanic Mythology. Kulokho okwenziwa uNkulunkulu wangaphambili, akekho noyedwa kulesi sigaba esizayo ozoba nomlingiswa ofanayo noma okushiwo okufanayo njengoba phambilini ayenakho.

Ngokuphambene nalokho, unkulunkulukazi welanga uSurya, ngokusobala, ugcine abalandeli abaningi. Ngokuvamile, ukukhulekelwa kwelanga kwakuyisici sentshonalanga ne-India.

I-Trimurti ayikaze ikhuphuke ngezinga lemfundiso noma inkolelo-mbuso yamanje, futhi noma ukukholelwa noma ukuqagela ukuthi lesi sithombe sinencazelo, into efanelekile ukunakwa. Ngokusobala, lokhu bekungukubonakaliswa kwe-Indian syncretism, isifiso sokuhlangana ngisho namahlelo, esihlangana kuwo wonke amathuba obuHindu.

Izenzo ze-Hindu Uvenu zihlangana nesigqi esinama-stroke semijikelezo yomhlaba. Okokuqala bavela eBrahmin; bese ufinyelela ukuboshwa kwabo okugcwele; Ngemuva kwalokho bamukelwe yi-brahman noma nge-epoch elandelwa yikhulu leminyaka elilandelayo. Ukudalwa komhlaba, kanye nomlando, kuhlukaniswe ngemijikelezo. Akunasiqalo noma isiphelo. Ukuqala ukuphela, futhi ukuphela kuyisiqalo esisha. Unkulunkulu ophakeme wesikhathi seBrahman, uBrahma uqobo, ephethe amandla endalo, kancane kancane alahlekelwe ukubaluleka kwawo.
