Creation of Brahma
Brahma, the creator, first created the emotions of living beings, such as the consciousness of death, self-delusion, anger, physical conception, etc. With such creations, Brahma became sad with his activity. So he meditated on the Lord and started the work of creation again with a pure mind.
Brahma created four sages at this time. Sanaka, Sananda, Sanatana, and Sanatkumara are their names. Their strong personalities made them avoid materialistic pursuits.
So they disagreed with Brahma's desire to beget progeny in the world. Instead, their goal was to attain salvation. "I failed in my re-attempt," said Brahma. Along came anger. As he tried to control his anger, it came out from between his eyebrows in the form of a blue-red child. The child cried loudly, "Please tell me my name and place of residence."
Now, Brahma,” your name is Rudra. And your abode is the heart, the senses, the five elements, the sun, the moon, and penance. Your eleven spouses are called 'Rudranis'. You are the ruler of all living beings in the world. You immediately carry out the work of creation.” he said.
As a result, Rudra produced millions of powerful living beings on Earth. Fire erupted from their eyes, scorching everything.
Yet, when their numbers expanded, the children and grandchildren banded together and attempted to take over the entire universe.
Thus, when there was a problem in the creation, Brahma, the father, called Rudra and asked him to stop the creation of these fierce forms of beings and ask him to do penance and calm his mind. Accordingly, Rudra left for the forest to perform penance.
Brahma leaves his body

Now Brahma turned his attention to creation again and got ten sons like Marichi, Angirasa, Narada, etc. Narada was the last one. These ten children were created from the mind of Brahma. So they are called Manasaputras.
Brahma also has a daughter named "Vaak". He also desired to marry his daughter, since he had feelings for her. Vaak, the daughter, was heartbroken. Knowing this, her brothers told their father Brahma, “What you are about to do is very wrong. That is not fair.”
Now Brahma was very ashamed of his evil thoughts. "I don't want this body at all." He gave up his body, created a normal body, and started his worldly life. However, he was never able to create as many creatures as he thought.
"What is this game of destiny?" He thought that when he concentrated his mind on the Supreme Being and became absorbed in meditation, male and female forms were born from his mind.
The male was named “Manu”, the creator of mankind, and the female was his wife “Dasharupi”.
To this couple were born two sons "Priyavrita" and "Uttanapada" and three daughters "Aakuthi", "Devahuti" and "Prasuti".
All of them, in due course of time, had children, and grandchildren, and this led to an increase in the population of the world. Thus, they fulfilled the will of Lord Brahma.
