Lokakalpanā / The Ordering of the Worlds
Cosmogony and Earth’s Retrieval
सिद्धात्मानो मनुष्यास्तु पुष्टिर्देवेषु कृत्स्नशः / अथो ससर्ज वै ब्रह्मा मानसानात्मनः समान्
siddhātmāno manuṣyāstu puṣṭirdeveṣu kṛtsnaśaḥ / atho sasarja vai brahmā mānasānātmanaḥ samān
Men whose selves were perfected gained full sustenance among all the gods; then Brahmā created mind-born sons, equal to his own being.
