Sage Bhṛgu was born of the heart of the lord whose source of origin was water. Brahmā created Dakṣa from his vital breath and Marīci from his eyes. He created Rudra (also known as) Nīlalohita in the form of Abhimāna (prestige, honour). He created aṅgiras from his head and Atri from the ears. From his Udāna (?) vital breath (prāṇa) he created Pulastya and Pulaha from Vyāna. Vasiṣṭha was born of Samāna and he created Kratu from Apāna.
