Translation
Dhātā, the seventh son of Aditi, had four wives, named Kuhū, Sinīvālī, Rākā and Anumati. These wives begot four sons, named Sāyam, Darśa, Prātaḥ and Pūrṇamāsa respectively. The wife of Vidhātā, the eighth son of Aditi, was named Kriyā. In her Vidhātā begot the five fire-gods named the Purīṣyas. The wife of Varuṇa, the ninth son of Aditi, was named Carṣaṇī. Bhṛgu, the son of Brahmā, took birth again in her womb. Samanantaraḥ refers to Vidhātā, the eighth son. In his wife Kriyā he bore the fires called Purīṣyas. Śruti says pañcacitīḥ purīṣyāso ’gnaya: the five fires are called Purīṣya. Carṣaṇī was the wife of Varuṇa. Previously Bhṛgu was born as the son of Brahmā, but was again born as Varuṇa’s son. [Note: Varuṇa wsa the ninth son of Aditi. The list is given in SB 6.6.39.] Bhṛgu and Vālmīkī were the sons of Varuṇa alone whereas Agastya and Vaśiṣṭha were sons of both Varuṇa and Mitra.
Personal Guidance
Dhātā had four wives — Kuhū, Sinīvālī, Rākā, Anumati — bearing Sāyam, Darśa, Prātaḥ, Pūrṇamāsa. Vidhātā's wife Kriyā bore the five sacred fires. The days, watches and fires of ritual life all have personal origins.
Reflection Questions
  • Do I see sandhyās and sacred fires as natural objects or as living persons?
  • How does this change how I greet a morning?
