The lord with half-female body became his son. Then, the lord burnt Brahmā, the preceptor of the universe. Thereafter for the purpose of the flourishing increase of the worlds the lord adopted the yogic path and enjoyed his own prosperous semi-Mātrā, Parameśvarī. He created Viṣṇu and Brahmā in her. The lord of the universe, the soul of the universe, created the Pāśupata missile too. Hence Viṣṇu and Brahmā were born of the part of Mahādevī. Thus Brahmā who was the Egg-born, and the lotus-born was born also of the body of the lord.[2] Thus, in brief, the entire anecdote has been mentioned to you, as also what happened during the first Parārdha of Brahmā.
