तनयाश्च तथैवाष्टौ पत्न्यः पुत्राश्च ते तथा ।
कल्पादावात्मनस्तुल्यं सुतं प्रध्यायतः प्रभोः ॥
tanayāś ca tathaivāṣṭau patnyaḥ putrāś ca te tathā / kalpādāv ātmanas tulyaṁ sutaṁ pradhyāyataḥ prabhoḥ
তদ্রূপে আট পুত্র জন্মিল, এবং তাহাদের পত্নী ও পুত্রও হইল। কল্পের আদিতে, ভগবান ব্রহ্মা ধ্যানে নিমগ্ন থাকিলে, স্বভাবতঃ তাঁহার সমান এক পুত্র প্রকাশিত হইল।

FAQs
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.
