After creating Vamas (castes) and Asramas (stages of life) thus, the pure unsullied Lord of gods, the Soul of the universe, commanded Daksa and others, “All of you pocreate different species of beings.” At the instance of God Brahma, his sons Daksa and other excellent sages created the subjects beginning with gods and human beings.
