Sūta said: Pairs of twins were born of Nikṛti: Bhaya and Naraka; Māyā and Vedanā. Māyā gave birth to Mṛtyu, the dispeller of living beings. Raurava got a son of Vedanā called Duḥkha. From Mṛtyu were born Vyādhi, Jarā, Śoka, Krodha and Asūyā. All these ending with Duḥkha had the characteristics of Adharma. These had no wives nor sons. They live in perpetual chastity. Thus, the Tāmasa creation was evolved with Adharma as the controlling factor.
