After creating the Tak?as, goblins, the heavenly singers and the beautiful divine damsels and the four sets of creations such as gods, sages, manes {Pitrs) and human beings, he created the living beings both mobile and immobile.

Whatever activities had been taken by these creatures in their previous creations and births, they assume those very functions when created again and again. (The temperament) violence or non-violence, gentleness and. cruelty, righteousness or unrighteousness, truthfulness or false¬ hood, urges them [v.l. arises in them), as in the previous birth, and hence these appeal to them. 66b-67a. It was the creator who made the arrangements for diversity in the great elements and in their objects of senses and variety of forms. 67b-69a.

That un¬ born deity gave the names of the sages to those who were born at the close of his night. 69b-70. Whatever forms and functions are seen in the beginnings of the Yugas are definitely the same as are seen in the various cycles of ages.
