Patriarch

.From the body of the Patriarch Vashishtha when he was desirous of creating progeny, sprang the various kinds of elemental creations (41).

When the progeny, created by his mind, did not multiply he divided his own body into two and with the half he created man (42).

With the other half he created woman and through her he engendered various kinds of progeny. He resides enveloping the heaven and earth with his own glory (43)
