Śrī Sūta said: After creating the worlds, Brahmā,.the self-born lord began the creation of Prajās (subjects). Desirous of creating different subjects (creatures), he created them in the same form as had been created before. As he meditated and pondered about (the forthcoming) creation preceded by (cosmic) intellect, Avidyā unfolded itself into five forms simultaneous with Pradhāna (?). These five forms were Tāmasika. They were darkness, delusion, great-delusion, pitch darkness and blind darkness.
