English

The legend of Rudra crying for a name and god Brahma assigning a name to him and the recurrence of this granting of names or eig t times is an amplification of the same story in Salapalha Brahmaim (SBr.6.3.1-18). Then the following bodies for these names were created by Brahma. These were the sun, the earth, water, fire, •air, ether, the initialed Brahmana and themoon. These (eight) have their source in Brahma. Rudra should be worshipped and honoured in these bodies. Thus (honoured and worshipped) Rudra does not injure. 1 Then Brahma spoke to the lord Nxlalohita again: "To your second name declared as Bhava by me, the body shall be the waters". When this was said, the stable element of the nature of Rasa (the lymphatic constituent in his body) entered water. Hence water is known as Bhava. The living beings are born of waters and purified by them (they are named Bhavas ). Greation of beings is by means of production and purification.
