As the divine union reached its peak, the goddess, wearied from her great embrace with Kṛṣṇa, released a gentle breath. This breath, subtle yet profound, became the very support of all existence. From the embodied wind’s left side, the beloved of life herself arose, and from this sacred emergence, the five vital airs—prāṇa, apāna, samāna, udāna, and vyāna—came forth, sustaining all living beings. From the mingled sweat and water of this union, the mighty Varuṇa, lord of the waters, was born. Then, Kṛṣṇa-śakti, the divine power of Kṛṣṇa, conceived and bore a child from Kṛṣṇa himself. This goddess, presiding over Kṛṣṇa’s very life, became dearer to him than life itself. Eons passed—one hundred cycles of Manvantaras—until, at the appointed time, the supremely beautiful goddess, upon seeing the cosmic egg, was deeply afflicted in her heart. Witnessing her sorrow and abandonment, Kṛṣṇa cried out in lamentation, addressing her: “Because you, harsh and wrathful one, have abandoned your own offspring, whatever goddesses will be born as your portions…” In that moment, the goddess suddenly emerged from the tip of the tongue, radiant in yellow garments, holding a vīṇā and a sacred book. After some time, she took on a dual form, and simultaneously, Kṛṣṇa himself became twofold in aspect. Śrī Kṛṣṇa then spoke to Vāṇī, the goddess of speech: “You become his beloved.” Thus, pleased, he gave Lakṣmī to Nārāyaṇa as his consort. And because you remain childless, two will arise from the portion of Rādhā—equal to Hari in brilliance, age, beauty, and all divine qualities. Then, O sage, from the very pores of the Lord of Goloka, countless beings emerged, each matchless in form, virtue, attire, and valor. From the pores of Rādhā’s body arose the lovely cowherd maidens, adorned with jeweled ornaments, ever youthful and radiant in beauty. At that very moment, O Brahmin, from Kṛṣṇa’s own body suddenly appeared the goddess Nārāyaṇī, sovereign and embodiment of all powers, the seed-form of all goddesses, the primal nature, the Supreme Lady. She shone with the radiance of molten gold, dazzling like ten million suns, bearing many weapons and missiles, and possessing three eyes. By her portions and sub-portions, all women came into being. She is the bestower of prosperity to householders, the giver of liberation to seekers, and the granter of happiness to the happy. Among ascetics, she is austerity; among kings, she is beauty; she is the very splendor of the moon and the loveliest among lotuses. By her, the self is empowered, and the world is endowed with strength. She is the eternal seed-form of the tree of worldly existence, manifesting as hunger, thirst, compassion, faith, sleep, drowsiness, forgiveness, and fortitude. Having been praised, she stood before the Lord of all. Meanwhile, there appeared the Four-faced One, Brahmā, together with his consort. Bearing a water-pot, glorious and ascetic, he shone forth, foremost among the wise.
