### SB 3.20.46

> ते तु तज्जगृहू रूपं त्यक्तं यत्परमेष्ठिना ।\
> मिथुनीभूय गायन्तस्तमेवोषसि कर्मभिः ॥४६॥

> te tu taj jagṛhū rūpaṁ\
> tyaktaṁ yat parameṣṭhinā\
> mithunī-bhūya gāyantas\
> tam evoṣasi karmabhiḥ

*te*—they (the Kinnaras and Kimpuruṣas); *tu*—but; *tat*—that; *jagṛhuḥ*—took possession of; *rūpam*—that shadowy form; *tyaktam*—given up; *yat*—which; *parameṣṭhinā*—by Brahmā; *mithunī-bhūya*—coming together with their spouses; *gāyantaḥ*—praise in song; *tam*—him; *eva*—only; *uṣasi*—at daybreak; *karmabhiḥ*—with his exploits.

**The Kimpuruṣas and Kinnaras took possession of that shadowy form left by Brahmā. That is why they and their spouses sing his praises by recounting his exploits at every daybreak.**

The time early in the morning, one and a half hours before sunrise, is called *brāhma-muhūrta.* During this *brāhma-muhūrta,* spiritual activities are recommended. Spiritual activities performed early in the morning have a greater effect than in any other part of the day.
