Notes-8
Shaap of Umaa Because of this Shaap of Umaa to Devtaa, i.e. celestials, Devtaa cannot have children from their wives. They have to use some other medium to have a child. We have many examples of this in our history - --Hanumaan was the son of Pavan (Wind) Dev; Another Shaap She gave to Earth. The sin of Earth was to bear the semen of Shiv Jee onto her surface. That the appearance of earth will not be uniform and in quality (for it has lands and oceans, deserts and forests, volcanoes and mountains, ice and humidity, etc.). And she will be the wife of many - so the Earth is also the official wife of numerous kings. The Earth was also cursed not to have the delight of her own children. The
Earth
has only two children: Narakaasur, the demon and Seetaa Jee as her children. But these two are
also not
begotten through any seminal contact by Earth; and further, for earth they are as
good as not having these them, for such is the plight of these two children of
the Earth. After many tumults in her life, even Seetaa asks her mother, the
Earth, to
take Her back into her womb.
