In Kayyaṭa's commentary to the Devīśataka (v.1) I have come across the following expression: krodhāvṛtāsau kṣamate na dhātuḥ ("the one who is overcome by rage doesn't forgive even Brahmā", or something like that). This half-śloka is quoted to strengthen the idea that Brahmā is the non plus ultra of something ("if even Brahmā doesn't know, who else will?").

I assume this is the second part of some wise saying, or a reference to some laukikanyāya: is any of you able to trace the missing part/the source of this proverb, or point me to similar sayings concerning Brahmā? Thank you!

 

Best,
