Adhyaya 63: Daksha’s Progeny, Kashyapa’s Offspring, and the Rishi-Vamshas that Sustain the Worlds
दक्षः पुत्रसहस्राणि पञ्च सूत्यामजीजनत् तांस्तु दृष्ट्वा महाभागान् सिसृक्षुर्विविधाः प्रजाः
dakṣaḥ putrasahasrāṇi pañca sūtyāmajījanat tāṃstu dṛṣṭvā mahābhāgān sisṛkṣurvividhāḥ prajāḥ
Dakṣa gerou, por meio de Sūti, cinco mil filhos. Ao ver aqueles filhos tão afortunados, desejou fazer surgir as muitas variedades de seres, pondo em movimento a corrente da criação sob o poder do Senhor (Pati), que dá vigor a toda manifestação.
Suta Goswami (narrating the Purana to the sages at Naimisharanya)
FAQs
It frames creation as a sacred, ordered expansion: progeny and diversity arise through cosmic law, ultimately dependent on Shiva as Pati—supporting the Linga as the sign of the unmanifest source behind all manifested beings.
Even without naming Shiva directly, the verse implies a higher enabling principle behind creation: Prajapatis generate forms, but Shiva-tattva as Pati is the sovereign ground that empowers manifestation while remaining transcendent.
No specific puja-vidhi is stated; the takeaway is contemplative: recognize praja (beings) as arising within Pasha (worldly bonds) and seek Pati through Shaiva sadhana—often expressed in the Linga Purana through Linga-puja and Pashupata-aligned discipline.
