Rudra-saṁhitā, Sṛṣṭikhaṇḍa 16—Description of Creation
Channel: Consciousness Research Centre
Date: 05/11/2022

“O Nārada, after performing the pentuplication of the bhūtas—elements and their attributes sound etc.—I evolved the gross elements—space, wind, fire, water and the earth—out of them, and created mountains, seas, trees etc. and the periods of time ending with Kali, and other ages. I created many other things as well; but O sage, I was not satisfied. Then O sage, I meditated on Śiva and His consort Ambā, and created aspirants. I created Marīci from my eyes, Bhṛgu from my heart; Aṅgiras from the head, and the great sage Pulaha from the vital breath vyāna. I created Pulastya from udāna; Vasiṣṭha from samāna; Kratu from apāna; Atri from the ears, and Dakṣa from the prāṇa. I then created you from my lap, and the sage Kardama from my shadow. Finally, out of my conception, I created Dharma, which is the means for the achievement of everything. O foremost among sages, creating these excellent sādhakas, thanks to the favour of Mahādeva, I became contented.
