Sūta said: Adharma (sin) was born of tamas and Hiṃsā (violence) was born of grief. When this pair of terrible nature originated, the life (vital breaths) left the lord and pleasure resorted to him. Then Brahmā eschewed his shining body and bifurcated it. With one half of his body he became a man. With the other half he created a woman Śatarūpā.
