Dashakam 10 Other Creations

This episode signifies the variety in creation initiated by Lord Brahma, empowered by the grace of Lord Narayana. In this Dashakam, Brahma creates diverse beings: stationary life forms like plants and trees that grow on the earth, various moving creatures including animals, and different classes of gods. Brahma assigns bodies to the Jivas (souls) based on their past karmas to populate the three worlds. When Brahma reaches the limits of his creative powers, he contemplates the male and female principles from which the human race originates, represented by the first man Swayambhuva Manu and the first woman Satarupa, who further multiply the human species.

This Dashakam highlights the process of manifestation and diversification of life forms in the cosmos under divine guidance and grace, reflecting the orderly unfolding of creation after the previous phases of dissolution and re-creation described in Dashakams 8 and 9. It also underscores Brahma's dependence on the Lord’s blessings and the karmic law governing the birth and existence of beings.
