Translation

Disgust, arising from observation and learning (from others), in all objects of pleasure – starting from the body up to the creator Brahmā – is known as vairāgyam (dispassion)

Annotation

Brahmā (the creator) mentioned here is different from the Supreme Reality Brahman. Brahmā is a manifestation of the creative energy of Brahman and he has a life period. He has attributes such as creation, sustenance and dissolution; whereas Brahman is beyond such attributes.
