After the above said creation was completed, then Brahma, the Creator, took another body which was an expression of Rajas. During His aptitude for creation there was the birth of hunger. With that the Creator created those beings that are affected by hunger. Then many of His forms with moustaches emerged from hunger. They approached Him and said: "Let us eat". Such beings became the Rakshasas and the Yakshas. Brahma gazed at them without any relish.
Then there was the birth of semi-gods. By the instinct of calling, there was the birth of serpents. The Creator became angry when He saw them. Then there was the birth of anger and spite. Then there was the birth of spiteful beings like eagles and ravens that live with the flesh of beings (there are certain intelligences in us working for the body, some of them work by absorbing the flesh formed in our body). Some beings were born singing out of His body. They became the Gandharvas, the musicians (the beat and rhythm which make the heart beat and the respiration work out in beat and rhythm are the intelligences working in us that are called Gandharvas. They govern the musical sense in us and they enable us to learn, play and enjoy music). They were born while they were engaged in drinking Soma juice. This means that the musical consciousness in us enjoy or produce music continuously as if they were drinking music.
Having created these beings by the power of the Lord, Brahma created the idea of free and independent movement. By this He created sheep (this means He created Aries, the zodiacal sign of the Ram, as the beginning of the year called the Head of the year-God). From His belly He created cattle. From His feet He created the animals of speed, like horsed, deer, etc. From the hair of His body He created the annual herbs. Thus He created during the second age counted from the beginning of creation (the whole creation is divided into four ages: Krita Yuga, the Age of Law; Treta Yuga, the Age of protection; Dwapara Yuga, the age of utility and Kali Yuga, the age of hardship and labour. One set of these four Ages is called the Great Age; seventy-one units of Great Ages are included in one Manvantara).
Having created all the beings, He used the Ox, the Ram, the Man and the Horse in His sacrifice (work offered in the form of these animals was of mutual benefit. Hence it was the highest form of offering, which is called Yagna. All the beings live only by offering their lot of work to the other beings. Hence the whole creation of the creatures is an offering). Beings used for such purpose are called Group Souls or the beings of others' abode. He had also created wild beings different from them; they were the tigers, lions, elephants, monkeys and ravenous birds.
After the above said creation was finished, He created the various metres (measures) and the various Yagnas. From one face, Brahma created Gayatri and all the Riks. Also He created the three-fold Soma and the Great Song, Ratanthara. Among the Yagnas, He created Agnisthoma (The Gayatri metre is the frame of the 24 hours of the day divided into three equal parts of eight hours each. The Riks are the Mantras of the Rig Veda which are numbered in their syllables according to the required frame or pattern. Soma is the effort and the essence of one's own utterance. Its three-fold nature is the utterance of the word in three planes of consciousness and three tones. Ratanthara is the greatest of the hymns of Sama Veda. "The breath is Sama Veda" says the Upanishad. The point of exhalation to the maximum is called the song of Ratanthara. This is compared with noon, the highest point of illumination in the day). From the second face, Brahma created the Mantras of Yajur Veda, Tristhup metre, the fifteen-fold shouting of the prayer, the greatest Sama and the prayer called Ukthya. This, He created from His southern face (Yajur Veda is the wisdom of realisation in work or execution of the rituals. Tristhup is the eleven syllabled metre. It signifies the five sense organs, the five gross organs and the mind which are useful for the work of Yajus).
From the westward face, Brahma creates Samas, the Jagathi metre, the seventeenth prayer of high tone utterance, Virupa and Adhiratra prayers (all these are technical terms denoting the various methods of singing the Sama Veda).
From the northern face, He created the Atharva Veda, the twenty-one syllabed metre, the Anusthup or the thirty-two syllabed metre, Virat or the forty syllabed metre and the ritual called Aptoryama (the creation in three planes with seven sub-planes each is the twenty-one syllabed metre. When each hour is divided into four equal parts of fifteen minutes each, then each of the three lines of the Gayatri metre will have eight times four, equal thirty-two equal divisions. This is called the Anusthup metre. When the whole space of the globe is understood as a circle in one cross section that is traced by the Sun's apparent path around the earth, then in substance there are 360 degrees around the centre of the earth. These are divided into four equal parts of 90 degrees each. Each section of 90 degrees is divided further into 9 equal parts of 10 degrees each. The duration of such a division is called a syllable of the Virat Chandas).
From the parts of the body of Brahma, there was the creation of all the forms of the beings high and low. Having created the Devas, Pitris and the mental beings of this earth, the Creator took up the creation of the impulse of ideation. With that he created the Yakshas, Pisachas, Gandharvas, Apsaras, Naras, Kinnaras, Rakshasas, birds and Pasus, the quadrupeds and reptiles (the Yakshas are the beings that inhabit certain abodes like valleys and big trees. The Pisachas are the beings that dwell upon the substance of putrefied animal matter. For example, the bacteria. The Gandharvas are the musical intelligences that work through the minds of the beings. They produce the musical phenomena of the first order like the heart beat and the respiration. Further, they preside over the musical sense and the art of music among the human beings. They all work through the pineal gland. For this reason, the Vedic seers called the pineal gland the abode of Indra and Soma. The Apsaras are the droplets of water. They preside over the spectrum of the white ray. Since Indra is the lord of electricity in space, the spectrum of the rainbow is called Indra's bow. The Naras are the human beings. The Kinnaras preside over the various tones, intonations and their effect upon matter. For this reason they are described as the celestial musicians. While the Gandharvas preside over rhythm, beat and periodicity, the Kinnaras preside over the various tone of sound. It is said that Laya is produced by the Gandharvas while Swara is produced by the Kinnaras. The Rakshasas preside over the various layers of dense matter which are destined to die again and again. The Devas have no death since they are beyond matter and mind, while the Rakshasas die since they preside over matter. In creation they are seemingly opposite and hence there is a description of the war between the Devas and the Rakshasas in the Scriptures.
In the creation of the individual units of denser matter termed as "bodies", the process of creation is by reproduction. On the higher plane it is called creation, while on the lower planes it is reproduction. Always reproduction is conducted through the agency of "germ" or "sperm" as it is termed. Sukra is the presiding deity of the process of germination and the formation of the reproductive fluids containing the spermatozoa. Hence Sukra is described as the preceptor of the Rakshasas. The process of germination is called Mritha-Sanjivini (the secret of raising the dead). Sukra, the preceptor is described in the Puranas as having the Mantra for raising the dead.
