तच्छरीरसमुत्पन्नैः कायस्थैः करणैः सह। क्षेत्रज्ञाः समवर्त्तंत गात्रेभ्यस्तस्य धीमतः
With organs arising from his body, together with bodily faculties, the knowers of the field emerged from the limbs of that wise one.
ते सर्वे समवर्तंत ये मया प्रागुदाहृताः। देवाद्याः स्थावरां ताश्च त्रैगुण्यविषयेस्थिताः
All those previously mentioned by me came forth—gods and others, immovable beings, all established in the domain of the three qualities.
एवं भूतानि सृष्टानि स्थावराणि चराणि च। यदास्य ताः प्रजाः सर्वानव्यवर्द्धंतधीमतः
Thus, beings were created, both stationary and moving; when all those offspring did not increase for that wise one.
अथान्यान्मानसान्पुत्रान्सदृशानात्मनोऽसृजत्। भृगुं मां पुलहं चैव क्रतुमंगिरसं तथा
Then he created other mental sons, similar to himself—Bhrigu, me, Pulaha, Kratu, and Angiras.
मरीचिं दक्षमत्रिं चवसिष्ठंचैवमानसान्। नवब्रह्माण इत्येतेपुराणे निश्चयं गताः
Marici, Daksha, Atri, and Vasistha, likewise mental sons; these nine Brahmas are thus established in the Purana.
सनंदनादयो ये च पूर्वं सृष्टास्तु वेधसा। न ते लोकेष्वसज्जंत निरपेक्षाः प्रजासुते
Sanandana and others, who were formerly created by the Creator, did not become attached in the worlds, being indifferent to offspring.
सर्वे ह्यागतविज्ञाना वीतरागा विमत्सराः। तेष्वेवं निरपेक्षेषु लोकसृष्टौ महात्मनः
All those great souls, who have come to know the truth, are free from passion and envy; it is among such impartial ones that the creation of the worlds took place.
ब्रह्मणोभून्महान्क्रोधस्त्रैलोक्यदहन क्षमः। तस्य क्रोधात्समुद्भूतं ज्वालामालावदीपितम्
Then, from Brahmā arose a great wrath, capable of burning the three worlds; from his anger, a blazing mass of flames appeared.
ब्रह्मणस्तु तदा ज्योतिस्त्रैलोक्यमखिलं दहत्। भ्रकुटी कुटिलात्तस्य ललाटात्क्रोधदीपितात्
At that time, from Brahmā, a radiance emerged, burning the entire three worlds, from the furrowed and wrath-ignited brow on his forehead.
समुत्पन्नस्तदा रुद्रो मध्याह्नार्कसमप्रभः। अर्द्धनारीनरवपुः प्रचण्डोति शरीरवान्
Then Rudra arose from there, shining like the midday sun, fierce in form, with a body half-male and half-female.
विभजात्मानमित्युक्त्वा तं ब्रह्मांतर्दधेः ततः। तथोक्तोसौ द्विधा स्त्रीत्वं पुरुषत्वं तथाकरोत्
Saying, 'Divide yourself,' Brahmā then disappeared; as instructed, Rudra split himself into a female and a male form.
बिभेद पुरुषत्वं च दशधा चैकधा च सः। सौम्यासौम्यैस्तथा रूपैः शांतैः स्त्रीत्वं च स प्रभुः
He divided his male aspect into ten and then into one; likewise, the Lord divided his female aspect into gentle and fierce forms, as well as peaceful ones.
बिभेद बहुधा चैव स्वरूपैरसितैः सितैः। ततो ब्रह्मा स्वयंभूतं पूर्वं स्वायंभुवं प्रभुम्
He further divided himself into many forms, both dark and fair; then Brahmā, the self-born Lord, first created Svāyambhuva Manu.
आत्मानमेव कृतवान्प्रजापत्ये मनुं नृप। शतरूपां च तां नारीं तपोनिर्द्धूतकल्मषाम्
He made himself into Manu, the lord of progeny, O King, and that woman named Śatarūpā, purified by austerity.
स्वायंभुवो मनुर्नाम पत्नीत्वे जगृहे प्रभुः। तस्माच्च पुरुषाद्देवी शतरूपा व्यजायत
The lord, named Svāyambhuva Manu, accepted her as his wife; and from that man, the goddess Śatarūpā was born.
प्रियव्रतोत्तातनपाद प्रसूत्याकूति संज्ञितम्। ददौ प्रसूतिं दक्षाय आकूतिं रुचये पुरा
Priyavrata and Uttānapāda, Prasūti and Ākūti by name—Prasūti was given to Dakṣa, and Ākūti to Ruci in ancient times.
प्रजापतिः स जग्राह तयोर्जज्ञे स दक्षिणः। पुत्रो यज्ञो महाभाग दंपत्योर्मिथुनं ततः
The lord of creatures took them as wives, and from them was born Dakṣiṇa; from that couple, the highly fortunate son Yajña was born.
यज्ञस्य दक्षिणायां तु पुत्रा द्वादश जज्ञिरे। यामा इति समाख्याता देवाः स्वायंभुवे मनौ
From Yajña and Dakṣiṇā, twelve sons were born, known as the Yāmas, gods during the reign of Svāyambhuva Manu.
प्रसूत्यां च तथा दक्षश्चतस्रो विंशतिं तथा। ससर्ज कन्यास्तासां तु सम्यङ्नामानि मे शृणु
And from Prasūti, Dakṣa created twenty-four daughters; listen to their proper names from me.
श्रद्धा लक्ष्सीर्धृतिः पुष्टिस्तुष्टिर्मेधा क्रिया तथा। बुद्धिर्लज्जावपुः शांतिर्ऋद्धिः कीर्तिस्त्रयोदशी
Śraddhā, Lakṣmī, Dhṛti, Puṣṭi, Tuṣṭi, Medhā, Kriyā, Buddhi, Lajjā, Vapuḥ, Śānti, Ṛddhi, and Kīrti—these are thirteen.
पत्न्यर्थं प्रतिजग्राह धर्मो दाक्षायिणीः प्रभुः। ताभ्यः शिष्टा यवीयस्य(स्प?) एकादश सुलोचनाः
The Lord Dharma accepted the daughters of Dakṣa as wives; from them were born eleven younger ones, all with beautiful eyes.
ख्यातिः सत्यथ संभूतिः स्मृतिः प्रीतिः क्षमा तथा। सन्नतिश्चानसूया च ऊर्ज्जा स्वाहा स्वधा तथा
Khyāti, Satyā, Saṃbhūti, Smṛti, Prīti, Kṣamā, Sannati, Anasūyā, Ūrjjā, Svāhā, and Svadhā as well.
भृगुर्भवो मरीचिश्च तथा चैवांगिरा मुनिः। अहं च पुलहश्चैव क्रतुर्मुनिवरस्तथा
Bhṛgu, Bhava, Marīci, and also the sage Aṅgirā; myself, Pulaha, and the eminent sage Kratu.
अत्रिर्वसिष्ठो वह्निश्च पितरश्च यथाक्रमम्। ख्यात्याद्या जगृहुः कन्या मुनयो राजसत्तम
Atri, Vasiṣṭha, Vahni, and the Pitṛs in due order; these sages, O best of kings, accepted the daughters beginning with Khyāti.
श्रद्धा कामं बलं लक्ष्मीर्नियमं धृतिरात्मजम्। संतोषं च तथा तुष्टिर्लोभं पुष्टिरसूयत
Faith, desire, strength, fortune, restraint, perseverance as a son, contentment, satisfaction, greed, and nourishment were born.
मेधा श्रुतं क्रिया दण्डं नयं विनयमवे च। बोधं बुद्धिस्तथा लज्जा विनयं वपुरात्मजम्
Intellect, learning, action, punishment, policy, humility, understanding, wisdom, modesty, discipline, and beauty as a son were born.
व्यवसायं प्रजज्ञे वै क्षेमं शान्तिरसूयत। सुखमृद्धिर्यशः कीर्तिरित्येते धर्मसूनवः
Resolution was indeed born, and security and peace were produced; happiness, prosperity, fame, and glory—these are the sons of Dharma.
कामान्नंदी सुतं हर्षं धर्मपौत्रमसूयत। हिंसा भार्यात्वधर्मस्य तस्य जज्ञे तदानृतं
Desire, delight, and joy were born as sons, and Harsha as Dharma’s grandson; violence became Adharma’s wife, and from her falsehood was born.
कन्या च निकृतिस्ताभ्यां भयं नरक एव च। माया च वेदना चैव मिथुनं द्वंद्वमेव च
A daughter, Deceit, and from them fear and hell; also illusion and pain, a pair, and duality as well.
तयोर्जज्ञेथ वै माया मृत्युं भूतापहारिणम्। वेदनायास्ततश्चापि दुःखं जज्ञेथ रौरवात्
From those two, Illusion gave birth to Death, the taker of beings; and from Pain, suffering was born, called Raurava.
