Secondary Creation
Primary Creation of Human Being
In the beginning, Brahma made unintentional and casual creations such as Tamas, Moha, Maha Moha, Tamisra and Andha; indeed Brahma was dissatisfied with these and after immense tapasya he created Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanaatana, Sanat Kumara brothers having his own qualities. They were pure ascetics and were not interested in worldly life. On seeing that secondary creation do not happen in spite of his primary creations, Brahma decided to create a set of Manasputras to increase the population. Thus the Prajapatis and 7 Saptharshis were created by his wish. The Satharshis thus created are: Marichi, Angirasa, Pulastya, Pulaha, Rithu, Atri and Vasistha.
All these people were very virtuous, wise and unaffected by worldly desires. They showed their disinclination towards the purpose for which they have been created by Brahma i.e. increasing the population. Brahma became very furious and in his anger he created an entity whose half portion resembled a man's body while the remaining half resembled that of a woman. Brahma instructed that entity to bisect his body into two distinct forms of a man and a woman. The entity followed Brahma's instruction and thus came into existence Swayambhu Manu and Shatrupa. Manu accepted Shatrupa as his wife. Two sons were born to them- Priyavrata and Uttanpada. Apart from these two sons, two daughters were also born to them- Akuti and Prasuti. Priyavrata, Uttanpad became ascetic.
Akuti was married to a Prajapati named Ruchi, while Prasuti married to Daksha. Akuti gave birth to two children- Dakshaina and Yagya. Dakshaina had twelve sons.

Even earlier in the past at the time of Prathama Sarga itself, Rudra asked Brahma to convert his body into to two parts, viz.Shiva as Artha Naareswara; now Daksha Prajapati only formalised the Union of Shiva and Sati and stated that all total womanhood of the Universe was of the ‘Amsha’ or of similarity to Sati Devi; besides Ekadasha Rudras too were of the Amsha of Shiva-Sati Union.
