पंचमोनुग्रहः सर्गः स चतुर्द्धा व्यवस्थितः। विपर्ययेण सिद्ध्या च शक्त्या तुष्ट्या तथैव च ७३ (तुलनीय - ब्रह्माण्ड पुराणम् [https://sa.wikisource.org/s/89a १.१.५.६१], लिङ्ग पुराणम् [https://sa.wikisource.org/s/4ii १.७०.१५८])। विवृत्तं वर्त्तमानं च ते न जानंति वै पुनः। भूतादिकानां भूतानां षष्ठः सर्गः स उच्यते
The fifth creation is of grace, established in fourfold form: by reversal, by accomplishment, by power, and by contentment. The sixth creation, called bhūtādi, is of beings who do not know what has passed or is present.
ते परिग्राहिणः सर्वे सविभागतरास्तु ते। चोदना जाप्यशीलाश्च ज्ञेया भूतादिकास्तु ते
All these are grasping, and they are more distinctly divided; they are to be known as those who act by impulse and by habitual chanting, and these are called bhūtādikas.
इत्येते कथिताः सर्गाः षडत्र नृपसत्तम। प्रथमो महतस्सर्गो द्वितीयो ब्रह्मणस्तु यः
Thus, O best of kings, these six creations have been described here: the first is the creation of mahat, the second is that of Brahmā.
तन्मात्राणां द्वितीयस्तु भूतसर्गोहि स स्मृतः। वैकारिकस्तृतीयस्तु सर्गश्चैंद्रियकः स्मृतः
The second is remembered as the creation of the tanmātras, called the creation of elements; the third, called vaikārika, is known as the creation of the senses.
इत्येष प्राकृतः सर्गः संभूतो बुद्धिपूर्वकः। मुख्यसर्गश्चतुर्थस्तु मुख्या वै स्थावराः स्मृताः
Thus, this is the prākṛta creation, arisen through intellect; the fourth, the primary creation, is remembered as the main stationary beings.
तिर्यक्स्रोतश्च यः प्रोक्तस्तिर्यग्योन्यस्स उच्यते। ततोर्ध्वस्रोतसां षष्ठो देवसर्गस्तु स स्मृतः
That which is called tiryaksrotas is also known as the creation of animals; after that, the sixth is the creation of the gods, called ūrdhvasrotas.
ततोर्वाक्स्रोतसां सर्गः सप्तमः स तु मानुषः। अष्टमोनुग्रहः सर्गः सात्विकस्तामसस्तु सः
Then the seventh creation is that of beings with speech-channels, which is the human creation; the eighth is the creation of grace, which is sāttvika, and the tāmasa creation is that one.
पंचैते वैकृताः सर्गाः प्राकृतास्तु त्रयः स्मृताः। प्राकृतो वैकृतश्चैव कौमारो नवमः स्मृतः
These five are known as the modified creations, and the first three are called primary; the ninth, called the kaumāra creation, is both primary and modified.
एते तव समाख्याता नवसर्गाः प्रजापतेः। प्राकृता वैकृताश्चैव जगतो मूलहेतवः
Thus have the nine creations of the Lord of creatures been described to you—both the primary and the modified—which are the root causes of the world.
सृजतो जगदीशस्य किमन्यच्छ्रोतुमर्हसि। भीष्म उवाच। संक्षेपात्कथिताः सर्गा देवादीनां गुरोस्तथा
What else do you wish to hear about the creation by the Lord of the world? Bhīṣma said: The creations of the gods and others, as well as of the teacher, have been told briefly.
विस्तराच्छ्रोतुमिच्छामि त्वत्तो मुनिवरोत्तम। पुलस्त्य उवाच। कर्मभिर्भाविताः सर्वेकुशलाकुशलैस्तु ते
I wish to hear from you, O best of sages, the detailed account. Pulastya said: All those beings are shaped by their actions, both auspicious and inauspicious.
ख्यात्या तया ह्यनिर्मुक्ताः संहारे ह्युपसंहृताः। स्थावरान्तास्सुराद्यास्तु प्रजा राजंश्चतुर्विधाः
Because of that reputation, they are not released, but are withdrawn at dissolution; the beings, from gods to immovables, O king, are of four kinds.
ब्रह्मणः कुर्वतः सृष्टिं जज्ञिरे मानसाः स्मृताः। ततो देवासुरपितॄन्मानुषांस्तु चतुष्टयं
As Brahmā was creating, the mind-born beings were produced; then, the four groups—gods, asuras, ancestors, and humans—came forth.
सिसृक्षुरंभांस्येतानि स्वमात्मानमयूयुजत्। मुक्तात्मनस्ततो जाता दुरात्मानः प्रजापतेः
Desiring to create these beings, he engaged his own self; from the liberated self were born the wicked beings of the Lord of creatures.
सिसृक्षोर्जघनात्पूर्वं जज्ञिरे त्वसुरास्ततः। तत्याज तां ततो दुष्टान्तमोमात्रात्मिकां तनुं
From the lower part of the creator, as he wished to create, the asuras were first born; then he abandoned that evil, darkness-formed body.
सा तु त्यक्ता तनुस्तेन राजेंद्राभूद्विभावरी। सिसृक्षुरन्यदेहस्थः प्रीतिमापुस्ततः सुराः
That body, being abandoned by him, became night, O king; then, as the creator entered another body, the gods attained delight.
सत्वोद्रिक्ताः समुद्भूता मुखतो ब्रह्मणो नृप। त्यक्ता सापि तनुस्तेन सत्वप्रायमभूद्दिनं
Those filled with sattva arose from the mouth of Brahmā, O king; that body too, being abandoned by him, became day, consisting mostly of sattva.
ततो हि बलिनो रात्रावसुरा देवतादि वा। सत्वमात्रात्मिकां चैव ततोन्यां जगृहे तनुम्
Therefore, the strong asuras are active at night, and the gods during the day; then he took on another body, consisting solely of sattva.
पितृवन्मन्यमानस्य पितरस्तस्य जज्ञिरे। उत्ससर्ज पितॄन्कृत्वा ततस्तामपि स प्रभुः
As he considered them as ancestors, the ancestors were born from him; having created the ancestors, the Lord then abandoned that body as well.
सा चोत्सृष्टा भवत्संध्या दिननक्तांतरा स्थितिः। रजोमात्रात्मिकामन्यां जगृहे स तनुं ततः
That body, when abandoned, became twilight, the interval between day and night; then he took on another body, consisting solely of rajas.
रजोमात्रोत्कटा जाता मनुष्याः कुरुसत्तम। तामप्याशु स तत्याज तनुमाद्यां प्रजापतिः
From that body, dominated by rajas, humans were born, O best of Kurus; that first body too was quickly abandoned by the Lord of creatures.
ज्योत्स्ना समभवच्चापि प्राक्संध्या याभिधीयते। ज्योत्स्नागमे तु बलिनो मनुष्याः पितरस्तथा
That body became light, which is called the morning twilight; at the coming of light, the strong humans and ancestors arise.
राजेंद्र संध्यासमये तस्मात्ते प्रभवंति वै। ज्योत्स्ना रात्र्यहनी सन्ध्या चत्वार्येतानि वै विभोः
O king, at the time of twilight, they indeed come forth; light, night, day, and twilight—these four are of the Lord.
ब्रह्मणस्तु शरीराणि त्रिगुणोपाश्रयाणि च। रजोमात्रात्मिकामेव ततोन्यां जगृहे तनुं
The bodies of Brahmā are associated with the three guṇas; then he took on another body, consisting solely of rajas.
ततः क्षुद्ब्रह्मणोजाता जज्ञे कोपस्तया कृतः। क्षुत्क्षामो ह्यंधकारे तु सोसृजद्भगवांस्ततः
Then, from the hunger of Brahma, anger was born, caused by her; famished by hunger and in darkness, the Blessed One thus created him.
विरूपा अत्तुकामास्ते समधावंत तं प्रभुम्। रक्षतामेष यैरुक्तं राक्षसास्ते ततोभवन्
Those deformed beings, desiring to eat, rushed toward that Lord; those who said, 'Let us protect him,' became known as Rakshasas.
ऊचुः खादाम इत्यन्ये ये ते यक्षास्तु तेभवन्। अतिभीतस्य तान्दृष्ट्वा केशाः शीर्यन्ति वेधसः १०० 1.3.
Others said, 'Let us eat,' and they became Yakshas; seeing them, the terrified Creator's hair began to fall out.
हीनाश्च शिरसो भूयः समारोहंति ते शिरः। सर्पणात्तेभवन्सर्पा हीनत्वादहयः स्मृताः
Those who lost their heads grew new ones again; from their crawling, serpents were born, and because of their deficiency, they are called snakes.
ततः क्रुद्धेन वै स्रष्ट्रा क्रोधात्मानो विनिर्मिताः। वर्णेन कपिशेनोग्रा भूतास्ते पिशिताशिनः
Then, from the enraged Creator, beings embodying wrath were produced; fierce, with tawny color, they became flesh-eaters.
धयतो गां समुद्भूता गंधर्वास्तस्य तत्क्षणात्। पिबंतो जज्ञिरे वाचं गंधर्वास्तेन तेऽभवन्
As he drank from the cow, Gandharvas arose from him at that moment; as he drank speech, Gandharvas were thus born from him.
