(Creation)
Agni Dev said - "Hey
Muni, Before Prakriti, Mahat Tattwa was created, consider it as Braahm
Sarg. Secondly Tanmaatraa were created, that is called Bhoot Sarg. Third
one is Vaikaarik (Saatwik) creation, this is called Aindriyak Sarg. Thus
this Praakrit Sarg is of three types, which has been manifested by Mind.
The fourth type of
creation is called Mukhya Sarg - Mukhya means Sthaavar (immovable - trees,
mountains etc).
Tiryak-strotaa is the
cause of the creation of animals and birds, this is called Tairyagyonya
Sarg, and this is the fifth Sarg. Creation of the creatures who live above
is called Dev Sarg, and this is the sixth Sarg. After this Arvaak-strotaa
were created, this is the seventh Sarg - Maanav Sarg. The eighth Sarg is
Anugraha Sarg - this Sarg is Saatwik as well as Taamas. These last five
Sarg (Sarg 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) are Vaikrit Sarg, and the first three
Sarg are Praakrit Sarg. Praakrit Sarg, Vaikrit Sarg and the ninth one
Kaumaar Sarg - these nine Sarg appeared from Brahmaa Jee. These are the
root causes of this Universe.
Daksh's
Khyaati
etc daughters were married to Bhrigu etc Maharshi. Some people consider
three types of creation - Nitya (Daily), Naimittik (Causal), and Praakrit.
Who takes birth and die daily, that is called Nitya Sarg. Bhrigu produced
two sons and one daughter from his wife Khyaati - Dhaataa and Vidhaataa
and Lakshmee who became the wife of Vishnu. Dhaataa had the son Praan, and
Vidhaataa had Mrikandu. Mrikandu's son was Maarkandeya and Maarkandeya's
son was Vedshiraa.
Mareechi and Sambhooti
had the son named Paurnmaas; and Angiraa and Smriti had several sons and 4
daughters - Sineevaalee, Kuhoo, Raakaa, and Anumati. Atri and Anusooyaa
had Som, Dattaatreya and Durvaasaa as their sons. Dattaatreya was a great
Yogee. Pulatya and his wife Preeti had the son named Dattoli. Pulah and
his wife Kshamaa had Sahishnu and Sarvpaadik sons (at some places the name
is found as Karmpaadik). Vashishth and Oorjaa (or Oorjaswati) had 7 Rishi
as their sons - Raajaa, Gaatra, Oordhwabaahu, Savan, Anagh, Shukra and
Sutapaa.
Swaahaa and Agni had
Paavak, Pavamaan and Shuchi named sons.
Aj had Agnishvaatt,
Barhishad, Anagni and Saagni named Pitar. Pitar and Swadhaa had 2
daughters - Mainaa and Vaidhaarinee.
Adharm got married to
Hinsaa and had 1 son named Amrit and 1 daughter named Nikriti. Amrit and
Nikriti got married to each other and gave birth to Bhaya and Narak. Bhaya
married to Maayaa and Narak married to Vedanaa. Bhaya and Maayaa gave
birth to Mrityu; and Narak and Vedanaa gave birth to Dukh. And Mrityu gave
birth to Vyaadhi (disease), Jaraa (old age), Shok (grief), Trishnaa
(dissatisfaction) and Krodh (anger).
A weeping baby was
born from Brahmaa Jee. He got known as Rudra because of weeping (Royaa).
Brahmaa Jee called him by Bhav, Eeshaan, Pashupati, Bheem, Ugra, Mahaadev
etc names. Rudra's wife Satee got angry at her father Daksh and left her
body. Then she was born to Himvaan as his daughter and became the wife of
Shankar Jee.
At one time, Naarad
Jee told about the method of worshipping Devtaa. Many followed that method
and attained pleasures and Moksh.
