OM! Glory to Vasudeva! Victory be to you, Pundarikaksha; adoration be to
you, Vishvabhavana; glory be to you, Hrishikesha, Mahapurusha, and Purvaja.
Maitreya said,
“Daksha, as I have formerly heard, was born from the right thumb of
Brahma: tell
me, great Muni, how he was regenerate as the son of the Prachetasas.
Considerable perplexity also arises in my mind, how he, who, as the son of
Marisha, was the grandson of Soma, could be also his father-in-law.”
Parashara said,
“Birth and death are constant in all creatures: Rishis and sages,
possessing divine vision, are not perplexed by this. Daksha and the other
eminent Munis are present in every age, and in the interval of destruction
cease to be: of this the wise man entertains no doubt. Amongst them of old
there was neither senior nor junior; rigorous penance and acquired power
were the sole causes of any difference of degree amongst these more than
human beings.”
Maitreya said,
“Narrate to me, venerable Brahman, at length, the birth of the gods,
Titans, Gandharvas, serpents, and goblins.”
Parashara said,
“In what manner Daksha created living creatures, as commanded by Brahma,
you shall hear. In the first place he willed into existence the deities,
the Rishis, the quiristers of heaven, the Titans, and the snake-gods.
Finding that his will-born progeny did not multiply themselves, he
determined, in order to secure their increase, to establish sexual
intercourse as the means of multiplication. For this purpose he espoused
Ashikni, the daughter of the patriarch Virana, a damsel addicted to devout
practices, the eminent supportress of the world. By her the great father of
mankind begot five thousand mighty sons, through whom he expected the world
should be peopled. Narada, the divine Rishi, observing them desirous to
multiply posterity, approached them, and addressed them in a friendly tone:
“Illustrious Haryashwas, it is evident that your intention is to beget
posterity; but first consider this: why should you, who, like fools, know
not the middle, the height, and depth of the world, propagate offspring?
When your intellect is no more obstructed by interval, height, or depth,
then how, fools, shall you not all behold the term of the universe?”
Having heard the words of Narada, the sons of Daksha dispersed themselves
through the regions, and to the present day have not returned; as rivers
that lose themselves in the ocean come back no more.
The Haryashwas having disappeared, the patriarch Daksha begot by the
daughter of Virana a thousand other sons. They, who were named
Shavalashwas, were desirous of engendering posterity, but were dissuaded by
Narada in a similar manner. They said to one another,
"What the Muni has observed is perfectly just. We must follow the path that
our brothers have travelled, and when we have ascertained the extent of the
universe, we will multiply our race."
Accordingly they scattered themselves through the regions, and, like rivers
flowing into the sea, they returned not again. Henceforth brother seeking
for brother disappears, through ignorance of the products of the first
principle of things. Daksha the patriarch, on finding that all these his
sons had vanished, was incensed, and denounced an imprecation upon Narada.
Then, Maitreya, the wise patriarch, it is handed down to us, being anxious
to people the world, created sixty daughters of the daughter of Virana; ten
of whom he gave to Dharma, thirteen to Kashyapa, and twenty-seven to Soma,
four to Arishtanemi, two to Bahuputra, two to Angiras, and two to
Krishashwa. I will tell you their names.
Arundhati, Vasu, Yami, Lamba, Bhanu, Marutwati, Sankalpa, Muhurta, Sadhya,
and Vishwa were the ten wives of Dharma, and bore him the following
progeny. The sons of Vishwa were the Vishwadevas; and the Sadhyas, those of
Sadhya. The Maruts, or winds, were the children of Marutwati; the Vasus, of
Vasu. The Bhanus (or suns) of Bhanu; and the deities presiding over
moments, of Muhurta. Ghosha was the son of Lamba (an arc of the heavens);
Nagavithi (the milky way), the daughter of Yami (night). The divisions of
the earth were born of Arundhati; and Sankalpa (pious purpose), the soul of
all, was the son of Sankalpa. The deities called Vasus, because, preceded
by fire, they abound in splendour and might, are severally named Apa,
Dhruva, Soma, Dhava (fire), Anila (wind), Anala (fire), Pratyusha
(day-break), and Prabhasa (light). The four sons of Apa were Vaitandya,
Shrama (weariness), Shranta (fatigue), and Dhur (burden). Kala (time), the
cherisher of the world, was the son of Dhruva. The son of Soma was Varchas
(light), who was the father of Varchaswi (radiance). Dhava had, by his wife
Manohara (loveliness), Dravina, Hutahavyavaha, Shshira, Prana, and Ramana.
The two sons of Anila (wind), by his wife Shiva, were Manojava (swift as
thought) and Avijnatagati (untraceable motion). The son of Agni (fire),
Kumara, was born in a clump of Shara reeds: his sons were Shakha, Vishakha,
Naigameya, and Prishthaja. The offspring of the Krittikas was named
Kartikeya. The son of Pratyusha was the Rishi named Devala, who had two
philosophic and intelligent sons. The sister of Vachaspati, lovely and
virtuous, Yogasiddha, who pervades the wholes world without being devoted
to it, was the wife of Prabhasa, the eighth of the Vasus, and bore to him
the patriarch Viswakarma, the author of a thousand arts, the mechanist of
the gods, the fabricator of all ornaments, the chief of artists, the
constructor of the self-moving chariots of the deities, and by whose skill
men obtain subsistence. Ajaikapad, Ahirbradhna, and the wise Rudra
Twashtri, were born; and the self-born son of Twashtri was also the
celebrated Vishwarupa. There are eleven well-known Rudras, lords of the
three worlds, or Hara, Bahurupa, Tryambaka, Aparajita, Vrishakapi, Sambhu,
Kaparddi, Raivata, Mrigavyadha, Sharva, and Kapali; but there are a hundred
appellations of the immeasurably mighty Rudras.
The daughters of Daksha who were married to Kashyapa were Aditi, Diti,
Danu, Arishta, Surasa, Surabhi, Vinata, Tamra, Krodhavasha, Ida, Khasa,
Kadru, and Muni; whose progeny I will describe to you. There were twelve
celebrated deities in a former Manvantara, called Tushitas, who, upon the
approach of the present period, or in the reign of the last Manu,
Chakshusha, assembled, and said to one another,
"Come, let us quickly enter into the womb of Aditi, that we may be born in
the next Manvantara, for thereby we shall again enjoy the rank of gods."
And accordingly they were born the sons of Kashyapa, the son of Marichi, by
Aditi, the daughter of Daksha; thence named the twelve Adityas; whose
appellations were respectively, Vishnu, Shakra, Aryaman, Dhuti, Twashtri,
Pushan, Vivaswat, Savitri, Mitra, Varuna, Ansha, and Bhaga. These, who in
the Chakshusha Manvantara were the gods called Tushitas, were called the
twelve Adityas in the Manvantara of Vaivaswata.
The twenty-seven daughters of the patriarch who became the virtuous wives
of the moon were all known as the nymphs of the lunar constellations, which
were called by their names, and had children who were brilliant through
their great splendour. The wives of Arishtanemi bore him sixteen children.
The daughters of Bahuputra were the four lightnings. The excellent
Pratyangirasa Richas were the children of Angiras, descended from the holy
sage: and the deified weapons of the gods were the progeny of Krishashwa.
These classes of thirty-three divinities are born again at the end of a
thousand ages, according to their own pleasure; and their appearance and
disappearance is here spoken of as birth and death: but, Maitreya, these
divine personages exist age after age in the same manner as the sun sets
and rises again.
It has been related to us, that Diti had two sons by Kashyapa, named
Hiranyakashipu and the invincible Hiranyaksha: she had also a daughter,
Shinka, the wife of Viprachitti. Hiranyakashipu was the father of four
mighty sons, Anuhlada, Hlada, the wise Prahlada, and the heroic Sanhlada,
the augmentor of the Daitya race.
Amongst these, the illustrious Prahlada, looking on all things with
indifference, devoted his whole faith to Janardana. The flames that were
lighted by the king of the Daityas consumed not him, in whose heart
Vasudeva was cherished; and all the earth trembled when, bound with bonds,
he moved amidst the waters of the ocean. His firm body, fortified by a mind
engrossed by Achyuta, was unwounded by the weapons hurled on him by order
of the Daitya monarch; and the serpents sent to destroy him breathed their
venomous flames upon him in vain. Overwhelmed with rocks, he yet remained
unhurt; for he never forgot Vishnu, and the recollection of the deity was
his armour of proof. Hurled from on high by the king of the Daityas,
residing in Swarga, earth received him unharmed. The wind sent into his
body to wither him up was itself annihilated by him, in whom Madhusudana
was present. The fierce elephants of the spheres broke their tusks, and
vailed their pride, against the firm breast which the lord of the Daityas
had ordered them to assault. The ministrant priests of the monarch were
baffled in all their rites for the destruction of one so steadily attached
to Govinda: and the thousand delusions of the fraudulent Shambara,
counteracted by the discus of Krishna, were practised without success. The
deadly poison administered by his father's officers he partook of
unhesitatingly, and without its working any visible change; for he looked
upon the world with mind undisturbed, and, full of benignity, regarded all
things with equal affection, and as identical with himself. He was
righteous; an inexhaustible mine of purity and truth; and an unfailing
model for all pious men.
The sons of Sanhrada, the son of Hiranyakashipu, were Ayushman, Shibi, and
Bashkala. Prahlada had a son named Virochana; whose son was Bali, who had a
hundred sons, of whom Bana was the eldest.
Hiranyaksha also had many sons, all of whom were Daityas of great prowess;
Jharjhara, Shakuni, Bhutasantapana, Mahanabha, the mighty-armed and the
valiant Taraka. These were the sons of Diti.
The children of Kashyapa by Danu were Dwimurddha, Shankara, Ayomukha,
Shankushiras, Kapila, Shambara, Ekachakra, and another mighty Taraka,
Swarbhanu, Vrishaparvan, Puloman, and the powerful Viprachitti; these were
the renowned Danavas, or sons of Danu.
Swarbhanu had a daughter named Prabha; and Sharmishtha was the daughter of
Vrishaparvan, as were Upadanavi and Hayashira. Vaishwanara had two
daughters, Puloma and Kalika, who were both married to Kashyapa, and bore
him sixty thousand distinguished Danavas, called Paulomas and Kalakanjas,
who were powerful, ferocious, and cruel.
The sons of Viprachitti by Sinhika (the sister of Hiranyakashipu) were
Vyansha, Shalya the strong, Nabha the powerful, Vatapi, Namuchi, Ilwala,
Khasrima, Anjaka, Naraka, and Kalanabha, the valiant Swarbhanu, and the
mighty Vaktrayodhi. These were the most eminent Danavas, through whom the
race of Danu was multiplied by hundreds and thousands through succeeding
generations.
In the family of the Daitya Prahlada, the Nivata Kavachas were born, whose
spirits were purified by rigid austerity.
Tamra (the wife of Kashyapa) had six illustrious daughters, named Shuki,
Shyeni, Bhasi, Sugrivi, Shuchi, and Gridhrika. Shuki gave birth to parrots,
owls, and crows; Shyeni to hawks; Bhasi to kites; Gridhrika to vultures;
Shuchi to water-fowl; Sugrivi to horses, camels, and asses. Such were the
progeny of Tamra.
Vinata bore to Kashyapa two celebrated sons, Garuda and Arunna: the former,
also called Suparna, was the king of the feathered tribes, and the
remorseless enemy of the serpent race.
The children of Surasa were a thousand mighty many-headed serpents,
traversing the sky.
The progeny of Kadru were a thousand powerful many-headed serpents, of
immeasurable might, subject to Garuda; the chief amongst whom were Shesha,
Vasuki, Takshaka, Shankha, Shweta, Mahapadma, Kambala, Aswatara, Elapatra,
Naga, Karkkota, Dhananjaya, and many other fierce and venomous serpents.
The family of Krodhavasa were all sharp-toothed monsters, whether on the
earth, amongst the birds, or in the waters, that were devourers of flesh.
Surabhi was the mother of cows and buffaloes: Ira, of trees and creeping
plants and shrubs, and every kind of grass: Khasha, of the Rakshasas and
Yakshas: Muni, of the Apsarasas: and Arishta, of the illustrious Gandharvas.
These were the children of Kashyapa, whether movable or stationary, whose
descendants multiplied infinitely through successive generations. This
creation, Oh Brahman, took place in the second or Swarochisha Manvantara.
In the present or Vaivaswata Manvantara, Brahma being engaged at the great
sacrifice instituted by Varuna, the creation of progeny, as it is called,
occurred; for he begot, as his sons, the seven Rishis, who were formerly
mind-engendered; and was himself the grand-sire of the Gandharvas,
serpents, Danavas, and gods.
Diti, having lost her children, propitiated Kashyapa; and the best of
ascetics, being pleased with her, promised her a boon; on which she prayed
for a son of irresistible prowess and valour, who should destroy Indra. The
excellent Muni granted his wife the great gift she had solicited, but with
one condition: He said,
"You shall bear a son, who shall slay Indra, if with thoughts wholly pious,
and person entirely pure, you carefully carry the babe in your womb for a
hundred years."
Having thus said, Kashyapa departed; and the dame conceived, and during
gestation assiduously observed the rules of mental and personal purity.
When the king of the immortals, learnt that Diti bore a son destined for
his destruction, he came to her, and attended upon her with the utmost
humility, watching for an opportunity to disappoint her intention. At last,
in the last year of the century, the opportunity occurred. Diti retired one
night to rest without performing the prescribed ablution of her feet, and
fell asleep; on which the thunderer divided with his thunderbolt the embryo
in her womb into seven portions. The child, thus mutilated, cried bitterly;
and Indra repeatedly attempted to console and silence it, but in vain: on
which the god, being incensed, again divided each of the seven portions
into seven, and thus formed the swift-moving deities called Marutas
(winds). They derived this appellation from the words with which Indra had
addressed them (Ma rodih, 'Weep not'); and they became forty-nine
subordinate divinities, the associates of the wielder of the thunderbolt.
overnment of the earth, the great father of the spheres established
sovereignties in other parts of the creation. Soma was appointed monarch of
the stars and planets, of Brahmans and of plants, of sacrifices and of
penance. Vaisravańa was made king over kings; and Varuna, over the waters.
Vishnu was the chief of the Adityas; Pavaka, of the Vasus; Daksha, of the
patriarchs; Vasava, of the winds. To Prahlada was assigned dominion over
the Daityas and Danavas; and Yama, the king of justice, was appointed the
monarch of the Manes (Pitris). Airavata was made the king of elephants;
Garuda, of birds; Indra, of the gods. Uchchaishravas was the chief of
horses; Vrishabha, of kine. Shesha became the snake-king; the lion, the
monarch of the beasts; and the sovereign of the trees was the holy
fig-tree. Having thus fixed the limits of each authority, the great
progenitor Brahma stationed rulers for the protection of the different
quarters of the world: he made Sudhanwan, the son of the patriarch Viraja,
the regent of the east; Shankhapada, the son of the patriarch Kardama, of
the south; the immortal Ketumat, the son of Rajas, regent of the west; and
Hiranyaroman, the son of the patriarch Parjanya, regent of the north. By
these the whole earth, with its seven continents and its cities, is to the
present day vigilantly protected, according to their several limits.
All these monarchs, and whatever others may be invested with authority by
the mighty Vishnu, as instruments for the preservation of the world; all
the kings who have been, and all who shall be; are all, most worthy
Brahman, but portions of the universal Vishnu. The rulers of the gods, the
rulers of the Daityas, the rulers of the Danavas, and the rulers of all
malignant spirits; the chief amongst beasts, amongst birds, amongst men,
amongst serpents; the best of trees, of mountains, of planets; either those
that now are, or that shall hereafter be, the most exalted of their kind;
are but portions of the universal Vishnu. The power of protecting created
things, the preservation of the world, resides with no other than Hari, the
lord of all. He is the creator, who creates the world; he, the eternal,
preserves it in its existence; and he, the destroyer, destroys it; invested
severally with the attributes of foulness, goodness, and gloom. By a
fourfold manifestation does Janardana operate in creation, preservation,
and destruction. In one portion, as Brahma, the invisible assumes a visible
form; in another portion he, as Marichi and the rest, is the progenitor of
all creatures; his third portion is time; his fourth is all beings: and
thus he becomes quadruple in creation, invested with the quality of
passion. In the preservation of the world he is, in one portion, Vishnu; in
another portion he is Manu and the other patriarchs; he is time in a third;
and all beings in a fourth portion: and thus, endowed with the property of
goodness, Purushottama preserves the world. When he assumes the property of
darkness, at the end of all things, the unborn deity becomes in one portion
Rudra; in another, the destroying fire; in a third, time; and in a fourth,
all beings: and thus, in a quadruple form, he is the destroyer of the
world. This, Brahman, is the fourfold condition of the deity at all seasons.
Brahma, Daksha, Time, and all creatures are the four energies of Hari,
which are the causes of creation. Vishnu, Manu and the rest, time, and all
creatures are the four energies of Vishnu, which are the causes of
duration. Rudra, the destroying fire, time, and all creatures are the four
energies of Janardana that are exerted for universal dissolution. In the
beginning and the duration of the world, until the period of its end,
creation is the work of Brahma, the patriarchs, and living animals. Brahma
creates in the beginning; then the patriarchs beget progeny; and then
animals incessantly multiply their kinds: but Brahma is not the active
agent in creation, independent of time; neither are the patriarchs, nor
living animals. So, in the periods of creation and of dissolution, the four
portions of the god of gods are equally essential. Whatever, Oh Brahman, is
engendered by any living being, the body of Hari is cooperative in the
birth of that being; so whatever destroys any existing thing, movable or
stationary, at any time, is the destroying form of Janardana as Rudra. Thus
Janardana is the creator, the preserver, and the destroyer of the whole
world, being threefold, in the several seasons of creation, preservation,
and destruction, according to his assumption of the three qualities: but
his highest glory is detached from all qualities; for the fourfold essence
of the supreme spirit is composed of true wisdom, pervades all things, is
only to be appreciated by itself, and admits of no similitude."

>
> Once his grandchildren (the Devas, Asuras, humans, and animals) took over
> the governance and habitation of the three worlds, Daksha realized his
> cosmic purpose was complete. Along with his wife, Asikni, he willingly
> gave up his title as the chief Prajapati, abandoned his grand palace, and
> renounced all material attachments.
>
> Daksha and Asikni retired deep into the sacred forests to practice
> Vanaprastha (the forest-dwelling stage of life).The Practice: Daksha turned
> his entire focus inward, practicing intense breath control (Pranayama) and
> deep meditation.
>
> *The Evolution of Mind: Unlike his first life, where he was consumed by
> ego and ritualistic pride, his second life ended in total humility*. He
> spent his final years meditating on the Formless Supreme Reality (Brahman),
> viewing Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Brahma as manifestations of the
> same singular divine essence.*Through his unwavering meditation, Daksha
> burned away all remaining layers of past karma.* Puranic texts state that
> he achieved Samadhi (the highest state of meditative consciousness). His
> physical body, which had served its cosmic purpose, was peacefully
> discarded, and his soul merged eternally into the Supreme Divine.
>
> *Because he achieved ultimate liberation at the end of the Chakshusha
> Manvantara (the sixth cosmic era), he was freed from the wheel of rebirth
> and never had to take birth as a Prajapati again*.
>
> Indra is grandson of Daksha- details
>
> Mother: Aditi (the eldest of the 60 daughters born in Daksha's second
> life).
>
> Father: Sage Kashyapa (one of the powerful Saptarishis or Seven Sages).
>
> Because Indra was born to Aditi, he belongs to a distinct class of solar
> deities known as the Adityas (literally meaning "sons of Aditi").
>
> *According to the Mahabharata, Aditi bore 12 glorious sons through Sage
> Kashyapa, with Indra being the eldest and most powerful among them*.
>
> His brothers include other major cosmic entities like Surya (the Sun God),
> Varuna (the Water God), and Vamana (the dwarf avatar of Lord Vishnu).
>
> While Daksha was responsible for physically populating the three worlds, it
> was his grandson Indra who was tasked with governing and protecting it.
> Appointed as the King of the Devas, Indra established his grand capital
> city, Amaravati, in the heavenly realm of Swarga. Armed with his
> thunderbolt weapon (Vajra) and riding his four-tusked white elephant,
> Airavata, Indra ruled over the rains, weather, storms, and cosmic
> administration.
>
> Indra would wage massive wars across the cosmos to reclaim his mother's
> honour and restore the rightful balance of power established by his
> grandfather.
>
> Sage Kashyapa was the father of Indra, not the son. Specifically, he
> fathered Purandara, who is the Indra of our current 7th cosmic era
> (Manvantara).
>
> As you noted, "Indra" is a title. Hindu Puranic time is split into 14
> Manvantaras (cosmic eras) within a single day of Brahma. Each era features
> a completely different soul ruling as Indra.

>
> *The Birth of Martanda (Surya):*
>
> When the child was born, he radiated such blinding, fierce light that he
> permanently drove away the dark remnants of the early universe. *Because
> he was the son of Aditi, he was named Aditya*; and because he *appeared
> from a seemingly lifeless egg-like womb to pierce the dark, he was called
> Martanda.*
>
> *4. Establishing the Cosmic Clock*
>
> Once Sage Kashyapa's son, Surya, took his place in the heavens, the dark
> era officially ended. He was mounted upon a golden chariot pulled by seven
> horses, establishing the 24-hour day, the changing of seasons, and the
> regular cycles of light and warmth. This solar system allowed his
> grandfather Daksha’s subsequent grandchildren (humans, plants, and animals)
> to successfully grow, breathe, and populate a brightly lit Earth.
