| <p>So na me viduḥ sura-gaṇāḥ prabhavaṁ na maharṣayaḥ aham ādir hi devānām: ([[Vanisource:BG 10.2|BG 10.2]]) "I am the original... I am the source of all these maharṣayaḥ, all these demigods." He's the father of everyone. Maharṣīṇāṁ ca sarvaśaḥ: "I am not only the origin of these demigods, but I am also the origin of all these great sages." That means He is the origin of this universe. In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam it is very nicely described how this universal form took place and how Brahmā was created and from Brahmā the ṛṣis were created, how population increased generally. These descriptions are there. So actually He is the origin. Janmādy asya yataḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]). As it is said in the Vedānta-sūtra, everything is emanating from Him.</p> | | <p>So na me viduḥ sura-gaṇāḥ prabhavaṁ na maharṣayaḥ aham ādir hi devānām: ([[Vanisource:BG 10.2 (1972)|BG 10.2]]) "I am the original...
