तनयाश्च तथैवाष्टौ पत्न्यः पुत्राश्च ते तथा ।
कल्पादावात्मनस्तुल्यं सुतं प्रध्यायतः प्रभोः ॥
tanayāś ca tathaivāṣṭau patnyaḥ putrāś ca te tathā / kalpādāv ātmanas tulyaṁ sutaṁ pradhyāyataḥ prabhoḥ
সেইদৰে আঠ পুত্ৰ জন্মিল, আৰু তেওঁলোকৰ পত্নী আৰু পুত্ৰো হ’ল। কল্পৰ আদিতে ভগৱান ব্ৰহ্মা ধ্যানমগ্ন থাকোঁতে, স্বভাৱতঃ তেওঁৰ সমান এক পুত্ৰ প্ৰাদুৰ্ভূত হ’ল।

Creation is portrayed as arising from concentrated tapas/meditation (pradhyāna). The ‘son equal to himself’ motif signals that cosmic functions emanate from the creator’s own potency, not from an external source.
Primarily Sarga (primary creation): the emergence of a major deity-principle (Rudra) and the structuring of his line (wives/sons) belongs to cosmogonic enumeration.
Rudra’s emergence ‘equal to the self’ can be read as the manifestation of the transformative/withdrawal power inherent in the creator—i.e., the destructive/ascetic principle is latent within creation itself.
