These are the three secondary creations made by Brahmā (vaikṛta). In addition, the creation of the devatās, who, as described previously, were also produced from ahaṅkāra in sattva-guṇa (and are thus a prākṛta creation). The creation of Kumāras by Brahmā is said to be both prākṛta and vaikṛta. These three are secondary creations. The creation of devatās is also secondary. But they are also part of the primary creation. Who are they? The creation of devatās from ahaṅkāra in sattva (vaikārikaḥ) was described in the creation originating from prakṛti (SB 3.10.17). (These devatās are therefore classed as prākrṭa.) A creation of devatās also occurs in the creation made by Brahmā later, called vaikṛta or secondary (listed in the next verse). The creation of the Kumāras is both prākṛta and vaikṛta. dṛṣṭvā pāpīyasīṁ sṛṣṭiṁ nātmānaṁ bahv amanyata bhagavad-dhyāna-pūtena manasānyāṁ tato ’sṛjat Seeing the sinful nature of this creation, Brahmā was not satisfied with himself. He again carried out creation by a mind purified with meditation on the Lord. SB 3.12.3 They are said to be both prākṛta and vaikṛta because, by Brahmā’s meditation on the Lord, they are generated both by Brahmā (vaikṛta) and the Lord (prākṛta).
