The Cosmic Union: Brahma, Shatarupa, and the Birth of Beings

​Brahmā did not literally marry his daughter—the narrative is
allegorical, teaching about the dynamic interaction between
consciousness (Purusha) and creative energy (Prakṛti).​• Animals
and life forms emerge via a layered, symbolic processes: cosmic
seeding, divine mind-born creativity, and prescribed natural
origins.​• These teachings portray a cosmos alive with divine
principles, not mere mechanistic evolution, emphasizing spiritual
symbolism over literalism.
