Siva is the patron deity for Ahamkara Tattva). From this three \u2013 fold ahamkara tattva, He created the bodies of all deities (Devatas), Mind (Manas), Sense organs (Indriyas) and Space (Bhutakasha).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.4<br>Akasada srujad vaayum vayostejo vyajijanat<br>Tejasah salilam tasmat prithivima sruja davi bhunah<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omnipotent Narayana created air (Vayu) from space, heat from air, water (Salila) from heat (Tejas), Earth (Prithvi) from water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.5<br>Tatah kutasthasthamasrujadvidhim brahmandavigraham<br>tasminstu Bhagavan bhuyo bhuvanani chaturdasa Tatah kutastha<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the above twenty-four tattvas, Bhagavan created ChaturMukha Brahma, who is the patron deity for the whole universe (Brahmanda), consisting of seven upper and seven lower worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A brief account of creation by God is given in the above stanzas. It is elaborated further below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before creation, Bhagavan Narayana was lying on a diving banyan leaf amid \u2018Pralayodhaka\u2019 (Water) \u2013 the other form of Goddess Lakshmi. She took another form by name \u2018Ambhrani\u2019 and prayed Lord that the world may be created. On her request, the Almighty Narayana manifested Himself in various forms \u2013 Vasudeva etc. (5 forms), Matsya etc. (10 forms), KEshava etc. (24 forms), Vishwa etc. (1000 forms) and unlimited forms (Ananta rUpa). This is called \u2018Atma ShrisTi\u2019. All these forms are fully identical in all respects and there is no iota of difference whatsoever. Similarly, His consort RAma takes equal number of forms to serve her husband in those forms. This is \u2018Lakshmi ShrisTi\u2019. Then, Bhagavan created three \u2018Gunas\u2019 \u2013 Sattva, Rajas and Tamas from the original prakriti, which is beginningless and eternal and patronized by Lakshmi. These three matters are mixed in uneven proportions making them fit for further transformations. This is <strong>\u2018Guna traya\u2019 shrisTi. With one percent of tamas, twelve percent of rajas, and rest sattva, <\/strong>He created \u2018mahatatva\u2019 the body of Virinchi. Although Rajas and Tamas are present in the body, they have no effect on the Patron deity \u2013 Virincha. From that portion of Tamas and Rajas in mahatatva, Bhagavan created Ahankara tattva and Buddhi tattva, respectively. All the gunas are present in all the tattvas in some percentage. From Sattvika portion in Ahankara tattva, He created \u2018manas\u2019 (mind) and Vaikarika ahankara being the bodies of Devatas; so also from Rajas portion, He created Taijasa Ahankara and ten senses and action organs (Dasendriyas) and from Tamas portion, He created fire \u2018Matras\u2019 and five \u2018Bhutas\u2019 as follows \u2013 Space with sound (Akasha \u2013 Shabda) -&gt; Air with tangibility (Vayu \u2013 Sparsha) -&gt; Heat or light with color (Tejas \u2013 rUpa) -&gt; Water with taste (Ap \u2013 rasa) -&gt;Earth with odor (Prithvi \u2013 Gandha). In this manner, twenty-four tattvas, bodies of all devatas and jeevas with Avidya (ignorance) were created in minute forms. This is \u2018Sukshma shrisTi\u2019. It may be noted here that Jeevas are not created in the true sense of the word as they are beginningless and eternal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Twenty four tattvas are as under:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(1) Mahat (2) Ahankara (3) Buddhi (4) Manas (5-9) Jananeindriya \u2013 Eye, Ear, Nose, Tongue, Skin (10-14) Karmeindriya \u2013 Speech, Hand, Limb, Arms, Genitals (15-19) Matras \u2013 Shabda, Rupa, Rasa, Gandha, Sparsha (20-24) Bhutas \u2013 space, air, light (heat), water, earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All these were created in minutest form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, as requested by Brahma (Virinchi) out of these twenty four tattvas and with his golden divine semen, He created Brahmanda (whole world) and entered there. Thereafter, He created fourteen petalled Lotus from His navel, therefrom ChaturMukha Brahma (ie.Hiranyagarbha or Virinchi). Being satisfied with Brahma\u2019s prayer, He further created five elements \u2013 Space etc., for forming fourteen lokas (upper and lower world) from fourteen petals of the lotus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.6<br>Tatvikanatha devan ko vairajah purusosrajat<br>Tathaiva paramann hamsan sanakadisca yoginah<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thereafter, the Patron deity of Brahmanda (Brahmanda abhimani) Brahma, named \u2018Purusha\u2019 created Patron deities of eleven tattvas, and then were born Sages of exceedingly high order \u2013 Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatsrajata and Sanathkumara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.7<br>Asuran dosarupanapyavidyam pancaparvanim<br>Varnasrama visesamsca dharmakliptim ca so\u2019srjet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He then created \u2018Asuras\u2019 (6) who are embodiments of all defects, Fivefold Avidya (ignorance) (7), Caste System (8), Ashrama (9), Code of Conduct and Dharma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(6) \u2018Asuras\u2019 means Daityas with all flaws including hatred towards the very creator and other devatas.

The idea is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, tattvabhimani devatas were created by Lord Vishnu in the minute form earlier to the creation of Brahmanda. They do not function in any manner at that stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, they were given birth by ChaturMukha Brahma through his various organs. Now, they preside over tattvas patronized by them. These are mula rUpa (original form) of the deities. They have full control over the respective tattvas in sentient and insentient bodies by the grace of Mukhyaprana, who is the Supreme Controller of all, depending on Vishnu only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thirdly, these devatas were again born in other forms to Kashyapa and Aditi. In these forms, they serve Lord Vishnu in many ways and participate in His act of creation and destruction of sentient and insentient bodies within the Brahmanda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As all the Devatas are samsajivas, they are capable of taking any number of bodies; these incarnations will have definite purposes. For example, Vayudevaru as Hanuman, Bhima and Madhva; Rudra Deva as Asvathama and Durvasa; Indra as Vali and Arjuna; Surya as Sugriva and Karna and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They serve the cause of Almighty Vishnu in those forms to earn His grace, and thus they pursue their \u2018sadhana\u2019 towards salvation. When their sadhana is completed at the time of liberation, they merge in their original form (mula rUpa) and finally attain moksha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.11<br>Kikalayam yaturdhana vinatayamtu paksinah<br>Mahaviryah sutah asan kasyapasya mahatmanah<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Demons (devourer of human beings) in Kikasa and most powerful Garuda as bird in Vinita became sons of the highly intelligent Kashyapa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.12<br>Manavanam pita jajne aditayakasyapatmajat<br>Manurnama mahaprajne etanmanvamtaresvarah<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sraddha Dev by name Manu (Vaivasvata) was born after the birth of Vaivasvan possessing spiritual wisdom of remarkably high order and origin of the human race, who is the son of Sun-God, who is the son of Kashyapa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.13<br>Tasya ghranadabutchrimaniksvakuh ksuvato manoh<br>Tapastaptva virincatsa lebhe Rangesvaram Harim<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once when Vaivasvata Manu sneezed, the great King Ikshvaku was born through his nostrils.
