Pradhana purusharu –Brahma, vaayu, shesha, garuda, rudra they provide the tools to jeeva  to do sadhane – they stay inside us and control activities ( Aitraya Upanishad)

1. Sharira purusha – Rudra  – dorns annamaya kosha (mud,water)and protects it.. Rudra – one who gives sadness, one who frees body from diseases.  Shankara – one who gives happiness
2. Chandas purusha – Shesha  – controls ability give words to feelings – inside annamaya kosha is pranamya kosha ( fire, wind, akasha) – gives ability to think, speak.
3. Veda purusha – Garuda – Manomaya kosha – en vedan veda – one can understand , appreciate and do manana of Vedas and words – gives arivu, grasping capacity.
4. Maha purusha / Samvatsara Purusha/ Kala purusha – Brahma – Controls vignanamaya kosha– chitta and jeeva abhimani – ability to think creatively

Brahma is called Maha purusha since without jeeva all other tools will not aide sadhane.

Samvatsara –

1. All jeevas are his children and he does good to people who are sam-good.
2. One who stays in the body and makes one remember good and gives sukha to  sadhaka jeeva.

Ahivairi means Garuda.

Shakra – Indra – karma abhimani, mano abhimani, hasta abhimani – gives knowledge about karma phala of yagna but does not give knowledge about godliness behind those karma. We do very delicate work by hands like painting, playing an instrument. All these are possible due to shakra.

There are 14 manavantaras and 13 manus. One of the manus is god himself – tapasa.

Out of 13 manus most revered is Svaayambhuvmanu who comes just after indra in taratamya kakshe.

• 8^th kakshe – indra
• 9^th kakshe – aham prana
• 10^th kakshe – Kamas son aniruddha, kamas wife rathi, Indras purohitta brishpathi, swayumbumanu, dakshaprajapati, sachi (indra’s wife)
• 11^th kakshe- Pravaha vaayu
• 12^th kakshe-  Chandra, surya, yama.
• 13^th kakshe – varuna
• 14^th  kakshe – narada
• 15^th kakshe- agni, brughurishi, swayambhumanus wife shatatara
• 16^th  kakshe – vaivaysvathamanu, saptarishi, vishwamitra
• 19^th kakshe – rest all manus

Brahma creates the extremely complex world(Chithrorukarmarachanam) where Shesha, Garuda, Rudra, Indra, Svaayambhuva Manu and other gods and great souls etc perform their wondrous deeds. The unique capacity of Chathurmukha Brahma and other gods itself depends on the side long glance of the eyes of Goddess Lakshmi. Such great capacity in her is itself due to the kind look of Ajitha, the Supreme Being. I offer my prostrations to Him.
