Brahmā’s Creation: The Kumāras, Rudra, the Prajāpatis, and the Manifestation of Vedic Sound
धीर्धृतिरसलोमा च नियुत्सर्पिरिलाम्बिका । इरावती स्वधा दीक्षा रुद्राण्यो रुद्र ते स्त्रिय: ॥ १३ ॥
dhīr dhṛti-rasalomā ca niyut sarpir ilāmbikā irāvatī svadhā dīkṣā rudrāṇyo rudra te striyaḥ
噢,鲁陀罗,你也有十一位妻子,称为“鲁陀罗妮”:迪、德利提、拉萨拉、乌玛、尼尤特、萨尔皮、伊拉、安比迦、伊罗伐蒂、斯瓦达与迪克沙。
This verse lists Rudra’s consorts as Dhī, Dhṛti, Asalomā, Niyutsarpiḥ, Ilāmbikā, Irāvatī, Svadhā, and Dīkṣā.
In the creation narrative, Brahmā enumerates lineages and expansions so the unfolding of cosmic population and divine genealogies is clearly understood.
They remind a reader that the universe operates under divine order (dharma) and that even powerful cosmic functions proceed through regulated relationships and responsibilities.
